Melinda Sharp

Hello to you all, my name is Melinda, sometimes referred to as MG (Mountain Goat) by my fellow chalet hosts, as I am very fond of walking in the mountains.  Jonty (Mr MG) and I will be your hosts in Chalet Jacqueline.

I have to admit to being a reluctant skier.  Jonty introduced skiing to the family when our two boys were young and that sealed our holiday choice for ever!  So naturally, when the opportunity to become chalet hosts presented itself Jonty pulled out all the stops (and charm) to persuade me it was the right thing for us….. and it was, is, we love it.  Mainly because we have met so many lovely people who share our love of the mountains, the friendly, family atmosphere of the chalet and good quality home cooked food.

Among other things, I enjoy cooking, especially the cakes which I take very seriously, always sampling a slice (for quality control purposes of course!), knitting, I usually have something on the needles, good company, and good wine.  I’ve also been known to ski a little too, but mainly I like to deck-chair ski!

There’s something a little magical about La Tania and both Jonty and I look forward to welcoming you to share it with us.

Hello Everyone!

I’m Cam, I’m going to be hosting in Chalet Ava this year alongside Charlotte and can’t wait to get out to the chalets and slopes to make sure you have the best time possible!

My passion for skiing started at a young age, and I’ve spent some of the most amazing times exploring different resorts and trying to look out for the hidden secrets skiing has to offer.

However, when I’m not on the slopes you’ll find me sailing, embracing the ocean and the challenges it has to offer!

I’m excited to share my love for the mountains with you and ensure your stay at Chalet Ava is amazing and as memorable as possible. From the best ski runs to a warm meal after a long day on the slopes I hope that we can make this holiday the best!

Although this is my first season I can’t wait to make a hearty meal and listen to all of your amazing stories!

Looking forward to meeting you and making your visit unforgettable!

Charlotte Hopkinson

Hello!

I’m Charlotte, this season’s chalet host for Ava alongside Cam!

I’ve just graduated from University with a degree in Bakery Science and am now counting down the days for the winter season to start! I absolutely love skiing and have been going with my family since I was about 6 years old- it is always the best holiday!

I love to cook, bake and get involved with anything foodie so very excited to get in the kitchen and get cooking. I love being able to share good food with good company (and good wine!)

I’m so excited to do my first ski season with Ski First Tracks in La Tania…my brother did a season with them two years ago and I had a blast visiting him so I really can’t wait!

See you soon!

Charlotte

Hi I’m Dave,

I will be Hosting Chalet Isla this season and cannot wait to get back to the Alps.

This will be my 8th winter in the mountains and am so looking forward to getting back to La Tania, getting my hosting skills back in shape ready for a great season.

You’ll definitely find me watching the Arsenal Champions League games on my evenings off and in truth will most likely come and watch any other sporting event when I can. Roll on the 6 Nations in February!!!

Whether you’re staying with me in Chalet Isla or any of the other chalets this coming Winter, I look forward to getting to know you and showing you around the beautiful 3 Valleys.

See you soon

Bon neige!

Dave

Freya Everson

Hey everyone!

My name is Freya, and this season which I’m super happy to be a part of I’ll be hosting chalet Amber with my sister, Jaz. 

I’m currently working abroad in the Pyrénées as a wellness center hostess alongside doing gardening so it’s safe to say my passion lies anywhere outside in nature ( although I’m sure you will agree, anywhere with french cheese and wine doesn’t hurt either ). I spend my free time traveling and exploring the great outdoors, always on the lookout for a good hike. I’m also an avid lover of music, studying music technology and production in the past so never hesitate to ask for a song recommendation to hype you up before hitting the slopes!

I’m really excited to be returning to the French mountains later this year. Having been working in hospitality for the last five years as a barista, bartender and all the in-betweens. It has created a strong passion for cooking, food and meeting new people.

Jaz and I have completed two festival seasons together and are both big foodies so we are really looking forward to getting to know you all and making your stay an unforgettable one with a warm and friendly environment! Expect lots of delicious dinners and desserts with a glass of wine or two after a long day’s ski session. 

See you soon! 

Freya

Jazmin Everson

Hi Everyone!

My name is Jazmin Aka Jazz and I am super excited to be working alongside my younger sister Freya we will be your hosts in Chalet Amber.

I absolutely love mountain life and having done a season eight years ago down the road in La Praz. I’ve been waiting for the right time to come back and do another and I’m so happy that time is now! 

I love skiing and since my first season  I have skied in several places in the Alps such as Italy, France and Austria.

I am from a small Somerset town called Glastonbury, you may have heard of it! I have spent the past ten years as a festival caterer so I am very much in tune with the seasonal life style.

Freya and I are a great team who love nothing more than make a house a home with providing a welcoming and happy environment, you may even catch one of our  live duets whilst we are busy in the kitchen!

I have a real flare for all things food and cooking is one of my greatest passions so I hope you will enjoy my culinary delights along with a nice glass of wine or two after a day out on the slopes.

We look forward to welcoming you and making your holiday experience one to remember!

Love

Jazz. X

Jonathan Sharp (Jonty)

Hello!

I’m Jonathan, usually known as Jonty (or occasionally Monty as I’m prone to impersonating the General when I’ve had a beer or two)

MG and I are looking forward to welcoming you to Chalet Jacqueline and La Tania.

We absolutely love everything about chalet hosting (except, perhaps, cleaning the bathrooms) and providing a relaxed, home-from-home chalet holiday for our guests. We get to meet loads of like-minded people, many of whom have become our friends and who we look forward to seeing each season.

I wouldn’t be a chalet host if I didn’t enjoy cooking and, of course, I love it! MG and I are a pretty good team in the kitchen and take a lot of pleasure in providing tasty home-cooked meals to refuel you after a strenuous day on the slopes.

I love being in the mountains and am a reasonable skier, although not as good as I think I am. However, my snowboarding is so bad that my children refuse to be seen with me, or at the very least I have to cover my face so that I am unrecognisable.

If you fancy a bit of a party, I might be persuaded (a glass of wine should do it 😊 ) to get the decks out.

If you haven’t been to La Tania, it’s a friendly little place nestling in the woods and it really is the best-kept secret in the Three Valleys. The perfect place for a chalet holiday!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Jonty
