About
A historic mountaineering town beneath the Italian side of Mont Blanc, 20 minutes from Chamonix through the Mont Blanc tunnel. Smaller than its reputation — around 41km of piste — but the base for serious off-piste and the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car, and a town that stays open and staffed year-round rather than closing out of season.

Common Seasonal Jobs
Languages Required
- Visa Requirements
- EU/EEA citizens can work freely under EU freedom of movement. Non-EU citizens need an Italian seasonal work permit (nulla osta for seasonal work), which requires employer sponsorship and falls under Italy's seasonal quotas (decreto flussi). UK citizens post-Brexit require a work permit.
- Recruitment Timeline
- Hotels recruit from September. French is useful as well as Italian — Aosta Valley is officially bilingual and the French border is a tunnel away.
Worker Amenities & Living
Staff Housing Available
- Public Transport
- Bus to Aosta (1 hr) for trains to Turin and Milan. Geneva airport is about 1.5 hrs through the tunnel.

Working a season here
Practical guides for seasonal workers, with every figure counted from the listings open right now.
- Can you do two ski seasons in one year?Northern and southern winters barely overlap. The constraints are visas and the gap between them, not the calendar.
- What should you ask before accepting a ski season job?Most adverts leave out the things that decide whether a season works. Counted from live listings, and what to ask instead.
- Is a ski season worth it, and can you save money?Accommodation decides it more than the hourly rate. How to work out your own number rather than trusting anyone else's.
