A chef in residence, from first coffee to last course

A chef in residence for a chalet week cooks every meal in your kitchen, from morning coffee and breakfast to slope-side lunches, afternoon returns and full dinners. Our chefs come from Michelin-starred houses, each one tested at a dinner before joining the network, so every service holds the same standard across the whole stay.

No two menus repeat across the week, so each dinner feels like a first. The cellar follows the whole stay, with sommelier pairings chosen meal by meal. One coordinator stays with you from the first call to the last evening. Over 500 events and 2,000 guests sit behind every week we run, rated 4.9/5 on Google.

  • Breakfast, slope-side lunch, apéritif and dinner, every day
  • Menus that never repeat across the week
  • Sommelier pairings and a cellar built for the week
  • Maîtres d'hôtel and full table service
  • One coordinator from the first call to the last evening
  • Dietary needs handled across every meal

A typical week, day by day

Here is how a chalet week usually unfolds, from an easy arrival dinner to a spotless departure. Your chef shapes each day around your skiing, your rhythm and your table.

Arrival

Your first evening asks nothing of you: caviar and Champagne as you walk in from the transfer, then an unhurried welcome dinner. Settle in while the chef reads the week ahead with you.

On the slopes

Ski days start with a generous breakfast and end with something warm waiting on your return. Lunch comes slope-side or at the chalet, light or hearty, exactly as the day calls for.

The gala evening

One night in the week rises above the rest: a starred-level tasting menu with full table service, sommelier pairings and maîtres d'hôtel. It is the dinner your guests will talk about long after.

Behind the scenes

Away from the table, the chef coordinates with your chalet staff on shopping, timings and every service. Hosts lift nothing: the kitchen simply runs, and each meal arrives when you want it.

Departure

The last morning is a gentle one: a final breakfast, an easy send-off before the transfer, and a kitchen left spotless, with nothing left for you to do.

Where we cook, across the Alps

Your chef comes to your chalet across the leading Alpine resorts: Courchevel, Megève, Val d'Isère, Méribel and Val Thorens. Wherever you are staying, the full week arrives with the chef.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should we book for Christmas or February?
Peak weeks book early: Christmas, New Year and February half-term are often reserved months ahead, so the sooner you reach out, the more chefs we can offer. Quieter weeks can come together in a matter of days. Either way, you will hear back within 24 hours.
Can the chef work alongside our chalet staff?
Yes, and it is part of the offer. Your chef works hand in hand with your butler, housekeeper and chalet team, aligning on timings, service and the kitchen so everything runs as one, without you having to manage it.
Can you handle dietary requirements over a whole week?
Yes, across every meal of the week. We gather allergies, intolerances and preferences before you arrive, then build alternatives of equal quality into each service, so no guest is ever set apart from the table.
Is it half-board or full-board?
Entirely your choice. The chef can cover everything from breakfast to dinner, or only the evenings, or any rhythm in between. You set which meals matter each day, and the week is shaped around it.
Do the team ski in with provisions?
The chef brings the ingredients and equipment each service needs and reaches even ski-in, ski-out chalets before you sit down. Provisioning, cold chain and timing are handled behind the scenes, so meals are ready exactly when you are.
