Our Team

Hi, I’m Russell from Kilmarnock, Scotland. As a qualified architect, passionate skier and food lover, I’m excited to be trading in the office for the Alps this season! I can’t wait to ‘Russell’ up some hearty, delicious meals for my guests, satisfying their hunger for both great food and the breathtaking mountains. This will be my second season as a Chalet Chef/Host, following a fantastic experience in Austria and I’m determined to make this year even more special. I can’t wait to hit the slopes and enjoy those perfect blue-sky, powder-filled days! ⛷️

Skier or snowboarder? Skier – I started skiing in 2015 and it quickly became an annual holiday tradition.

Passions and interests? I love exploring new places, surfing, skiing, hiking, cooking, drawing and I'm always up for trying any sport.

Favourite country? That’s a tough one! I’ll be joining the Alpinium team after spending five months traveling across Latin America, from skiing on the Peruvian sand dunes to exploring the snow-covered wilderness of Patagonia, I’m still undecided. Ask me again in the chalet!

Favourite resort? A family favorite is SkiWelt in Austria, where my skiing journey began.

Favourite cocktail? I love a Moscow Mule.
