From Tyrol to Carinthia, work in the very heart of the Alps

raditi.eu has published job listings for renowned hotel groups and top-category restaurants, primarily located in Austria’s Alpine gems. The bulk of the offer is focused on the provinces of Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Salzburg, and Carinthia, regions known for their top ski resorts, beautiful nature, and exceptionally high standards of hospitality services.

Free accommodation, meals, and 14 salaries per year

What makes this offer exceptionally attractive, and what is a common standard in Austrian hospitality, are the outstanding benefits employers provide. For all employees in Austria, the so-called '13th and 14th salary' per year is guaranteed, which means that in addition to the regular twelve, two extra salaries are paid out. This significantly increases total annual income.

In addition, all workers are provided with free meals and accommodation, most often in single rooms, which eliminates the biggest living expenses. The working environment is professional, with an emphasis on working with quality ingredients and within international teams.

The list of Alpine destinations where workers are being sought reads like a tourist catalog of the most famous ski resorts: from Lech am Arlberg and St. Anton am Arlberg in Vorarlberg and Tyrol, through Zell am See and Saalbach in Salzburg, all the way to popular places such as Kitzbühel, Schladming, and Kaprun. These are stable hotels and restaurants with a long tradition in tourism, which provides employees with security.

Pleasant work

The Austrian hotel industry is known for its organization, stability, and pleasant working environment, which also includes additional benefits such as use of the gym, pool, and wellness facilities, as well as discounts on ski passes and hotel services. Stable four- and five-star hotels, which are the most common employers in these listings, represent exceptionally desirable workplaces due to their high standards, professionalism, and care for workers.

Demand for qualified staff only grows year after year, given that Alpine destinations are exceptionally visited throughout the entire year. That is why many workers who want to earn and save quickly choose work in Austria as an ideal seasonal option that provides a secure contract, excellent conditions, and the opportunity to live in beautiful surroundings.

Opportunities in Germany as well

Although the focus is primarily on the Austrian Alps, the listing also includes attractive positions in the southern states of Germany, specifically in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. These regions also offer work in high-quality hotels and restaurants, providing excellent salaries and professional working conditions. For example, in Germany only kitchen staff are being sought, from independent cooks to deputy head chefs, with net salaries ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 euros.

Destinations such as Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria are among the most famous German winter tourist centers, while Konstanz offers work in the Lake Constance region. These locations represent an excellent alternative for those who want to work in a German environment, although it should be noted that the benefit of payment of the 13th and 14th salary applies specifically to employees in Austria.

What after applying?

Feedback on the application will be received by candidates who make the shortlist, within a maximum of ten working days.

This is an exceptional opportunity for everyone looking for stable and well-paid work in prestigious hotels, in one of the most beautiful and economically most developed parts of Europe.
