About Us

Powder Byrne is a leading specialist tour operator providing individually tailored luxury holidays. Established in 1985 we have become renowned for exceptional quality, personal service and exclusive childcare.

Powder Byrne's portfolio of holiday products includes 'Original Skiing', offering quality hotels in top Alpine ski resorts, and 'Resorts', our summer programme providing a selection of exotic 4 and 5 star luxury hotel destinations.

We leave the hotel staffing to the local professionals but recruit our own staff to provide those little extras that make up the Powder Byrne experience.

At Powder Byrne our service is only as good as our staff and since every holiday must be exceptional we only recruit the best people.

Our Vacancies

Powder Byrne is considered to be one of the most challenging and rewarding companies to work for. If you are someone who is capable of working long hours and gets satisfaction in providing a high level of service, then you may be suited to join our highly motivated resort teams.

Competition is fierce for all our winter positions, with a high standard of applicants, as well as a large number of staff returning for another season in the Alps (a testament to working for a company that values its staff!).

We annually recruit over 200 staff, including full season positions and Peak Week positions (during the school holidays), for those who cannot commit to a whole season.

Our Resorts

Our resorts include Austria: St Christoph, Zürs; France: Courchevel; Italy: Cassiano; Switzerland: Arosa, Flims, Grindelwald, Klosters, Zermatt.

At Powder Byrne all of our staff are dedicated to providing the very best in personal service, with all staff members having a proactive approach.

We treat every guest as an individual, and tailor each holiday to their needs, whether it is booking extra ski lessons, organising horse drawn sleigh rides or arranging a torch lit descent and cheese fondue…. Nothing is too much trouble!

A high level of personal service and attention to detail are what makes a Powder Byrne holiday, and we only recruit staff who have the ability to think on their feet and go that extra mile.

What We Offer

At Powder Byrne we offer a very competitive package for all our staff, whether you are working in resort for the whole season or just 1 week.

Package includes:

  • Return travel to resort
  • Accommodation
  • Ski pass
  • Ski / Snowboard equipment
  • Medical travel insurance (including Winter Sports)
  • Uniform
  • Competitive Salary (additional income can also be earned from babysitting)

Employment Dates

Full Season:-
For those who are interested in making the most of the Alpine snow we have “full Season” positions available, either starting early December or late January and finishing mid / late April.

Peak Weeks:-
If you are unable to commit to the full season, Powder Byrne maybe the answer you are looking for as we have a variety of shorter opportunities based around our Peak Weeks (school holidays). The Peak Weeks are ideal for those still in full time education, employment or with other commitments in the UK that prevent you from spending 3-4 months in the snow.

Christmas and New Year (1 - 3 week periods)
February Half Term (1 - 4 week periods)
Easter holidays (1 - 4 week periods)
