Work
On the Fafleralp
There are few places quite like Fafleralp. Up here, at the head of the Lötschental valley, it is not speed that counts, but what truly matters. Time is given space. Encounters take on depth. Our philosophy is simple – yet ambitious: we create a place where guests can find peace, recharge their batteries and want to stay.
And a place where we, as a team, can live and work with joy, mindfulness and a genuine sense of togetherness. For us, seclusion does not mean isolation, but clarity. And it is precisely this that gives rise to something special. Not for everyone. Perhaps for you: direktion@fafleralp.ch
You can’t plan for everything, but you can keep a lot of things in good working order! Up here, it’s not about ‘doing the bare minimum’; it’s about making sure the place runs smoothly – quietly, reliably, every single day! You make sure everything runs smoothly: the buildings, the technical systems, the outdoor areas. You spot what needs doing – before anyone else notices. You get stuck in, rather than waiting around. We’re not just a side job. We’re a place that’s sustained by people who take responsibility.
You bring:
- Technical understanding and manual dexterity – several years’ practical experience in similar roles
- Independent, reliable working style
- An eye for detail – and for the bigger picture
- Flexibility – no two days are the same here
- Enjoy getting stuck in, indoors and outdoors
Here’s what we can offer you:
- 13th month’s salary
- Professional and personal development within an international team
- Occupational health management, opportunity to participate in the activity programme
- Digital shift planning and transparent time recording
- Attractive events such as Fafleralp Sessions, Literatur September, festivals, seminars and weddings
- Possibility of guest-level accommodation
- Unique location in the countryside
- Accommodation benefits for relatives and friends
Your responsibilities:
- Start date: 1 June 2026
- Maintenance and upkeep of the buildings (hotel, ancillary buildings, outdoor areas)
- Maintenance and inspection of technical systems (heating, water, electrical, ventilation, etc.)
- Carrying out minor repairs and maintenance work independently
- Supervising external tradespeople
- Maintenance of outdoor areas (paths, terraces, green spaces)
- Set-up and dismantling work (start/end of season, events)
- Ensuring order, cleanliness and functionality throughout the premises
Our service and bar team turns dining into an experience and a holistic feel-good concept. Even at almost 1,800 metres above sea level, we offer guests in our dining rooms, garden terrace and bar a professional setting with a warm atmosphere. Setting tables attractively and correctly requires expertise; decorating them lovingly and preparing them for our guests is a labour of love. Is ‘mis en place’ not your cup of tea? Join us in creating unforgettable moments of indulgence.
