I've spent the whole winter season here at Châtel and I couldn't have asked for a better place! Staff: Jason, Marion, Alissa, and other volunteers [Julie, Nao, Mel] were like another familly to me. From the start you can feel welcome, well cared for. The atmosphere is friendly and joyful. I worked from 3-4 h five days a week, sometimes longer [5, 6, 8 h]. My shifts were in the morning so the whole afternoon was for me. I could go skiing, go hiking, etc. All in all, it was an amazing experience [both with work and meeting people] and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Châtel is such a charming place, the hikes are beautiful, the atmosphere is so peaceful, and I loved my stay at the hostel. I worked a few hours in the mornings and had a lot of time for myself. Jason is a great boss and the team just felt like family :) everyone is always ready to help and to make you feel at home. I'm so thankful for the beautiful memories I've made during this summer! Amazing place, amazing people (and amazing burguers as well haha) I had the best experience here and the time has gone too quickly!! I will never forget it <3 Thank you!!

Julieta has been a great worker at our place. She initialy came for the season but ended up staying for 2 years. We didn't want to let her go :)
She has extra skills such as playing music, singing and painting and she is always keen to do more

My experience at the hostel was incredible, Jason and the rest of the staff are excellent people that I had the pleasure to meet, they make you feel part of the team immediately and there is always a great working environment. It was a pleasure to be part of the Hostel family and I recommend it 100%

I loved every moment of this experience. Jason is a great host, he helps with anything you need, he knows a lot of hikes and cool places to go around Châtel and is very kind and fair with the amount of work. The team and him made my experience perfect and I wouldn't change a single thing. I even extended my stay because I don't want to leave :) If you love nature, hiking and mountains, this is the place to go. Thanks for everything <3
