Team

We imagine a world where hospitality becomes a inspiring force for good by delivering experiences that are truly sustainable, enrich local communities and are provided by teams of talented people who love what they do

Al

Al

After an interesting but ultimately unrewarding 10 years working in banking in London and Geneva, I made the move into full time mountain life and have never looked back. When I am not looking after our 3 energetic and hilarious children, I oversee the commercial and business change side of AliKats. I also helped set up a local environmental charity called Montagne Verte, along with Kat. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn

Kat

Kat

Following an unfulfilling career in media sales in London, I was looking for a new challenge when I met Al and I already had one eye on the mountains. Since 2010, we have been living here in Morzine and I now have a life creating interesting menus, recruiting and managing our wonderful team looking after our 3 gorgeous children. Al and I are also on the board of trustees for local environmental charity Montagne Verte and we have co-founded a speciality coffee roastery called Cafés Vorlaz.

Dimitri

Dimitri

My name is Dimitri and I joined AliKats two years ago as a chalet host. It was a big step to move from rainy Belgium to the snowy Alps. I loved it from the moment I arrived. AliKats is more than an employer for me, it’s a way of life. Being able to offer amazing mountain holidays and at the same time making an effort to preserve and care for the beautiful environment where it all takes place is inspiring. As from this winter, I will be working as a concierge manager going the extra mile to lift every guest experience to the highest level.

Cate

Cate

I’m Carine but you’ll get to know me as Cate. 2 years ago I was fortunate enough to be a chef in the beautiful Chalet Bizet. After a 2 year break, the mountains called again, but this time I’ll take on the role of operational manager. The new crew for winter 2023 – 2024 arrived a couple of days ago and I am already super proud to call them my team. Together we will do our very best to give everybody the full exquisite AliKats experience when on holiday. I can’t wait to meet you!

Having worked in Morzine some, hmmm… 30 years ago I fell in love with the area. My passion for the mountains and way of life kept drawing me back. Now, some hmmm… 30 years later, having followed my dream working / eating / drinking my way around the world, I finally ditched the corporate life and I am happily settled in the mountains with my 2 kids, cat and chickens. Every day is a pleasure to watch the sun rise and set on the hills around me. Why wouldn’t I want to help you experience this magic!

Hector

Hector

Hector is the youngest member of the AliKats team but is very keen to learn. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious and he can often be found urging the team on with encouraging barks. While Hector has never skied or snowboarded before, he is hoping to find his feet on the snow this season. He is also very much looking forward to meeting our wonderful guests.

After making the move to the Alps a few years back I can 100% confirm that the mountains are just AMAZING!!! I can’t wait for the snow and fingers crossed some bluebird powder days!

Working as an eco-chef in Antarctica, the Congo rainforest and London’s sustainable food networks, I set the bar pretty high for my cheffing experiences. Spending a winter in the French Alps has been a goal since learning to ski and snowboard in Antarctica in 2022, and once I came across AliKats I knew I couldn’t work anywhere else. AliKats’ ethos aligns with my insatiable appetite for creating delectable, sustainability focused food that brings joy and memorable dining experiences to fellow outdoors enthusiasts, all in a nurturing work environment and adventurous setting.

Becky

After an awesome season last year, working with Alikats and getting hooked on snowboarding, me and my partner swiftly decided to do it again. This year I am excited to be part of the prep kitchen team and learn more about running a kitchen sustainably.

Rob

Rob

Salut! This winter will be my fifth round with AliKats as a driver – safe to say it’s an addictive lifestyle! I was initially drawn to the Alps purely as an excuse to get as much time on the mountain as possible; but now five years and seven snowboards later, I’ve discovered it’s so much more than just a job in a ski resort. The friends I’ve made and the experiences I’ve had have been incredibly precious for me, and the excitement of being here hasn’t worn off after all these years!

Rich

Rich

Hi, Rich here.  I have previously worked as an engineering geologist, gardener, business administrator and massage therapist but decided that 2022 was the year to grab life and spend a winter in the Alps.  I loved being in the mountains so much that I’m back for more.  You’ll find me on two planks rather than one, enjoying everything from groomed pistes to fresh powder.  I am really looking forward to meeting lots of new people, helping our clients have an amazing holiday, and exploring Morzine and the wider Portes du Soleil region.

Alice

I love being outside bikepacking, camping and going on adventures, and I’m so excited to be in Morzine this winter to open up skiing (uphill and down!) and take a break from the muddy Bristol biking trails. I can’t wait to show you the views from our stunning chalet, it’s worth the wait

This winter, I’m so excited to swap the sea for the slopes and get to know Morzine! I currently live on the Isles of Scilly off the coast of Cornwall, where I work in tourism and volunteer as a sea swimming guide. I’m a beginner skier, but a professional hot chocolate drinker, so I’m confident I’ll thrive in at least one aspect of mountain life. Sharing the places I love with new people is my passion, so I cannot wait to meet our guests and get stuck in. See you dreckly*…

Hi, I’m Daniel, born in the sunny midlands in England with my 2 other triplet brothers and training to be an electrical engineer.

Jacquie

Jacquie

I’m Canadian-Rockies born but have lived and worked in the UK and all over Europe for a rather long time. I’m an ex-professional private chef who’s been diversifying my hospitality skills beyond the kitchen in the last few years. I’m happiest when I’m on my fully loaded touring bicycle (Surly Shirley) cruising through fascinating new countries and sleeping under the stars for months on end. As for the glorious winter, I grew up playing ice hockey on frozen prairie ponds, snowshoeing, and Nordic skiing. And yes, with Banff, Jasper, and Whistler close by, we were certainly spoilt for downhill. Can’t wait to meet you all and get the party started in Morzine!!

Louis

Louis

Hello, after working for a few years in the movie studios I’ve decided to ditch the 9 to 5 for some sun and snow. Since learning to ski & snowboard I’ve always wanted to experience the mountain life in the best form possible, a season. A lover of great music and even better snow I can’t wait to see what Morzine has to offer.

After 4 years of working in my career, it was time to make my dream come true and explore the world! I am a very passionate and sometimes too brave skier, loving the feeling of rushing down slopes and soaking in the mountain atmosphere from the ski lift! When the slopes close up, you can catch me in the gym trying to get back to my CrossFit routes or stealing baked goods my fiancé and co-host of this session, Kayleigh has made!
