Dans la même veine que ma question précédente... mais dans un cadre différent. Nous ne sommes plus chez les B&B, mais dans des 'chalets' à la montagne. N'ayant pas été au ski depuis longtemps, je ne sais pas s'il y a une appellation qui correspond en français... 'Responsable de chalet' ?

Selected
les gérants, les animateurs, ou le personnel d'encadrement du chalet, selon la surface du chalet.
En français, le terme "hôte" peut désigner aussi bien la personne qui reçoit que celle qui est reçue, mais pas dans ce cas-ci.

Mountain cottage hosts / invités au sein d'un chalet de montagne
deja en anglais chalet se dit cottage
et chalet de montage : mountain cottage
donc normalement l expression en anglais devrait être : "mountain cottage hosts"
qui se traduirait en francais par "invités au sein d'un chalet de montage" ou "pensionnaires d'un chalet de montage"
sous entendu soit pour faire du ski ou juste des vacances.

writeaway
: it's just the Fr notion of hôte/hôtesse, people who greet the chalet (same word in En) guests as they arrive and take care of the paper work etc. they also usually act as contact persons for any questions/probs. most definitely NOT guests. contresens!!!

personnel du chalet
Would be a good general term. See:
http://www.chaletmerlo.eu/servicef.html
The "chalet hosts" may (but often do not) include the chalet owner, but also staff who cook, clean, organise lift passes, drive you to the slopes and even offer an informal ski guiding service (although recent regulations mean they're no longer supposed to do that, in France at least). In the chalet we stayed in at Christmas we had four staff members: two chefs, one housekeeper and a designated driver. The owner himself was actually staying as a guest with his family, so definitely not acting as a host on this occasion!
