Join the team at Armadillo.

We are building a hugely professional team this winter, and we are excited about it. Read on to see if you are the right fit for us, and for what we are trying to build.

Who We Are

Armadillo Chalets is an independent luxury chalet operator with properties across Méribel and Verbier. Twenty-five years in Verbier, a growing presence in Méribel, and one clear idea of what a truly great alpine holiday looks like.

We are small by design. We invest in knowing our guests from the first conversation, and we deliver every stay with warmth, care and genuine mountain knowledge. The people who join us now will shape what we become.
