Location: Crans\-Montana Area, Switzerland (2,100m Altitude)

Salary: €96,605+ / CHF 90,000+ (Gross Annual \- to be confirmed based on profile)

Contract: Permanent

The Vision: High\-End Brasserie & Open\-Fire Gastronomy

All4chefs is exclusively representing a landmark eco\-luxury retreat situated at 2,100 meters. This architectural marvel is seeking a Chef de Cuisine to redefine its culinary identity.

This is not a "rigid fine dining" role. We are looking for a chef to lead a high\-end brasserie concept that is lively, generous, and focused on pure, readable flavours. The kitchen follows a "Slow Food" philosophy, emphasizing respect for the product and the timing of nature.

Key Culinary Elements:

• Live Cooking: Expert use of open\-fire, embers, and flames to elevate ingredients.
  




• 100% Homemade: A commitment to scratch\-made excellence across breakfast, high\-volume lunch, and elegant dinners.
  




• Local Terroir: Leveraging short supply chains and deep relationships with Valaisan producers.
  




• Business Context: You will oversee a high\-performing operation with a winter F&B revenue of CHF 1.2M and a growing summer MICE/Events segment currently generating over CHF 850K in corporate and private events.
  

Requirements

We are looking for a "human\-first" leader. This property strictly rejects "old\-school" toxic management.

• No Ego: A clear vision paired with an accessible, committed, and hands\-on presence in the kitchen.
  




• Modern Management: A style rooted in respect and emotional intelligence—no shouting, no humiliation, and no fear\-based tactics.
  




• Team Builder: Ability to unite, train, and retain a brigade of 8 to 12 professionals depending on the season.
  




• Front\-of\-House Synergy: You believe in working hand\-in\-hand with the service team to ensure a seamless guest experience.
  

Profile Requirements

• Languages: English is mandatory. Fluency in French or Italian is a strong advantage.
  




• Experience: Solid seasonal luxury hospitality experience. You must be comfortable managing variable volumes, from intimate individual dinners to large\-scale MICE groups.
  




• Resilience: The property is located at 2,100 meters, requiring above\-average adaptability and physical/mental resilience to manage high\-altitude logistics and seasonal peaks.
  




• Sensitivity: A deep affinity for the mountains, nature, and the "living" aspect of cuisine.

• Lifestyle: Full Crans\-Montana Gondola & Ski Pass provided for the duration of your contract.
  




• Work\-Life Balance: 35 days of contractual leave. Extra working hours result in additional days off.
