Part-time
Chalet Host
Dec 2026 – Apr 2027
About the Role
We manage two cosy, family-owned mountain properties in Livigno, Italy: Chalet Baita Zelda in Trepalle and Apartment Gembro in Teola. Both host international guests for skiing, snowboarding and winter holidays. Livigno is a duty-free alpine resort with a long ski season and lively après-ski.
We're looking for a fit, enthusiastic chalet host (an individual or a couple) for the 2026/27 winter season, from 1 December 2026 to 30 April 2027 (possible extension to early May). Please plan to arrive about a week before the season starts to help prepare the chalet.
This is a part-time work-exchange role with a weekly stipend, ideal for travellers, digital nomads or seasonal adventurers who want to spend the winter in Livigno without paying the high cost of accommodation.

Digital tasks on quiet days (for our platform KaterBlue.com, a global maritime and travel services portal):
- Online research and data entry (e.g. listing updates)
- Translation or content help, depending on your native language
- Social media support and basic admin
Typically 5 to 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, depending on guest turnover.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
- Free shared accommodation (heated studio dormitory with kitchenette, Wi-Fi, bedding and lockers)
- Free utilities (heating, water, electricity, Wi-Fi)
- Season-long Livigno ski pass (after your first month)
- Weekly food stipend
- Full use of chalet amenities including kitchen, bathroom and laundry
- Experience certificate / reference on successful completion
HOW TO APPLY
In your application, please include:
- Your nationality and current location
