Stéphanie

Housekeeping

Stéphanie joined the housekeeping team in the summer of 2016. Careful cleaning, making herself useful, contact with the guests and their gratitude for the good cleaning are very important to her. She likes to arrange everything down to the smallest detail. She also enjoys the nice atmosphere with the rest of the team.

At home, she enjoys spending time in the kitchen baking cake and goes on hikes with her family. Outside the season, she helps us with random household tasks, and of course getting the hotel ready again for a new season.

Chef Cook

Hi, I’m Adi Jeng.

I envision creating new dishes in which I am inspired by the natural environment, which is so beautiful here. But also embellishing existing classics and preparing them with the greatest care can appeal to me. In my spare moments I really enjoy going up the mountain and being amazed by all that beauty around me. Back down in the valley I would very much like to surprise you and let you enjoy my cooking skills. Hopefully see you soon and will we experience many culinary seasons together.

Hostess

In 2017 I exchanged Rotterdam for the French mountains and since 2021 I’m part of the team of hotel ‘Mountain Spirit’ (Esprit Montagne) in the beautiful village ‘the chapel of abundance’ (La Chapelle d’Abondance). Just the names already appeal to the imagination, don’t they?

Life here with so much natural beauty, endless paths and peace around us, which we can enjoy endlessly every day, is wealth for me. Being able to share that with you, our guests, makes the experience even a bit richer for me. I look forward to our meeting with enthusiasm and would like to make it a beautiful, unforgettable winter with you and the team.

This winter I will also be part of this great team at Hotel Esprit Montagne and I will be working in the service. Like everyone else who visits here, I also enjoy being in the mountains. There is something powerful about it, it makes me feel insignificant, but I feel at home there! Nothing beats a snowy landscape, the silence as soon as you walk through the snow with your tennis rackets, the wide views, an unexpected encounter. The variety of a wonderful day of intensive skiing, that drink on the slopes and then warming up by the fireplace afterwards.

I look forward to hearing everyone’s stories about their adventures in the snow every day, and of course I take the opportunity to get to know the area myself.

Waitress

Hello everyone, my name is Maartje.

Last July I decided to cycle to Rome after graduating, with a stopover in the Balkans. This trip has made me realize how much I appreciate life in nature, and can’t say goodbye to the mountains yet! That’s why I’m going to spend the coming winter season at the Hotel Esprit Montagne, where I can immerse myself in the mountains and the challenges of the snow.

In addition, I look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful place and making it a wonderful season together

Waitress

Hello, I’m Luisina, Lu for friends,

I’m from Argentina, but I’ve been living in Bolzano, Italy for almost three years. A Masters in Eco-Social Design took me to the Dolomites, where I had incredible experiences. This motivated me to be at Hotel Esprit Montagne in the Alps this season. I enjoy the simple things. I am a fan of endless conversations, nature, animals and the sun. I love outdoor sports and you can always find me in my running shoes, ready to play outside. I consider myself a friendly, spontaneous and very curious person, always eager to try new things.

I am super happy to be part of the Esprit Montagne Team this winter season and I look forward to meeting you and making your stay at the hotel a warm and unforgettable experience. Hope to see you soon!

Kees

Cook & Waiter

Hey! I am Kees, born and raised in Utrecht.

From the moment I went on a winter holiday in the mountains for the first time, I have said that I was born in the wrong country. Especially since I became involved in the wonderful sport of Paragliding when I was 14.
Since I started living in my nice van last summer and touring Europe and the Alps, I finally feel like I’m in my place.

Now I am very happy that I can spend these cold months with the nice team of Esprit Montagne in this beautiful valley.

Stijn

Cook

Hi, I’m Stijn. I come from Arnhem in the Netherlands.

As the youngest member of the team, I work with chef Adi in the kitchen. Cooking beautifully and enjoying beautiful nature at the same time is everything I love. Being active outside in the mountains is something I have done a lot since I was young. I am very inspired by the landscape and hope to reflect that in my role as sous chef at Esprit Montagne. This is my first season at Esprit Montagne and I am really looking forward to embarking on this exciting adventure.
