Fresh Tracks is more than just a cookery school...
Chalet hosting is about so much
more than just cooking, so it makes sense that as a chalet hosting school, we teach you more than just how to cook...
RESIDENTIAL Course
The Fresh Tracks residential course will give you all the experience, skills and confidence you need to become an epic chalet host, whatever stage of life you're at.
Our course covers everything you'll need to have a great season in the mountains.
““Amazing week in Cornwall with Fresh Tracks! I went with barely any knowledge or experience of being a chalet host... but I now feel confident to start my job this winter.” ”
ONLINE Courses
Our online courses give you the flexibility to learn at home in your own time and at your own pace.
Chose from a selection of either specific topics or get great value for money with one of our bundle options.
With all the same material as covered in the residential, these courses will give you the skills and confidence to become a great chalet host.
“I completed your course last week and I absolutely loved it! Even though I cook a lot, I learned so much. My parents loved having a personal chef all week and I had so much fun having my friends over for a dinner party on the last night.”
Getting a Job
We can help you land your first winter job. We receive requests from companies looking for hosts, and we provide detailed applications advice and can give references.
““For two seasons, Steve and Becky have trained our new chalet host chefs, giving them the best start they could possibly have. I could not imagine being trained by two better people if you truly want to understand what it means to get the best out of a season as a Chalet Host/Chef.””
What is chalet hosting?
Chalet hosting is a juggling act: one minute you’re hosting a dinner party, the next you’re scrubbing toilets.
But chalet hosting isn't just a job - it's a lifestyle, and there are fantastic rewards which come with it...
““The Fresh Tracks course focuses on a wide spectrum of hosting skills including food hygiene, menu planning, budgeting, welcoming guests and dealing with challenging situations, cleaning, preventative maintenance, and…the all important cooking.””
Off to Uni (Life skills) Course
New for 2025 our Off to Uni (Life Skills) course are packed full of amazing cooking practice and practical life lessons, giving you the opportunity to learn new skills and enjoy our fantastic location.
““I also would just like to say how beneficial your course was. She thoroughly enjoyed herself, but more importantly, she just seems to have learnt so much from you. She’s brimming with confidence and much more knowledgeable than she was, so many thanks for all your efforts.””
Gallery
We take lots of photos here at Fresh Tracks, and whilst on season, so that you can get a real idea of what we're about.
After all, what's the point of having a great time if there are no photos to show for it..?
““Had the best week with some great people @freshtrackschaletschool... If you’re thinking of doing a ski season I would highly recommend these guys! So stoked for the season ahead!!””
