Chef Alex reporting from Les Gets
Arrived in Geneva 3 days before all the managers arrive for the training week. Was met by Rob at the airport and everyone got chatting straight away. Arrived in Les Gets and there was no snow but only a few days later it was snowing pretty consistently and has continued since then. There is now...
Alpine Elements Staff Blog -Manager’s Training Week.
What a week! Despite several lengthy powerpoint presentations (Rob’s food hygiene was a laugh a minute…) everyone remains excited to be back in the Alps and getting stuck into what will hopefully be Alpine’s best winter yet.

Training in Les Gets

Ok, weary would be equally appropriate but the overriding tone was unquestionably the anticipation of our arriving at our new allocated homes. Yes, its season time again. And winter season at that.
