About Reach4TheAlps
The hard working team at Reach4TheAlpsReach4thealps is owned and run by Gina and Marcus Ewart. Both from Scotland, they were lucky enough to learn to ski as kids in Glenshee (Gina) and Cairngorms (Marcus)
still to this day argue over which resort is best!

gina & marcus
Gina did a ski season in Chamonix cooking when she was 20 and caught the ski bug and love for the mountains. While they both had “proper” jobs they always missed the mountains and continually talked about moving to the Alps. They ended up working their first season together in Morzine and fell in love with the Portes Du Soleil area. The company name was dreamed up in All Bar One in Leicester Square, London with a group of friends and Reach4thealps was launched in summer 2002. They welcomed the first guests to Chalet Sol Re in December 2002 after lots of DIY, curtain making and trips to Ikea!
They successfully ran Chalet Sol Re for 2 years and then started to expand little by little and in the years since have grown to having a portfolio of catered and self-catered properties between Morzine and Les Gets. In between all that they somehow managed to fit in getting married and having 2 kids in the process!
Jo
Operations Manager
Jo is our Ops Manager who started working with us in winter 2019/20. Between working as a host on board catamarans in Greece and Croatia, Jo had been coming to Morzine on holidays and working in chalets for the past few years. Her love of skiing and mountain biking makes Morzine the perfect place for her to live, and she is really happy to be a part of the Reach 4 The Alps team!
Katie & Ewan
Chalet Hosts
Katie and Ewan are retuning for their 2nd season with Reach 4 the alps in chalet Coutettaz! Ewan grew up in Dorset and became an outdoor instructor, mainly in Scotland and Wales. He had always dreamed of working in the alps and has worked two summers in Morzine, looking forward to being back for my second winter here! Katie has been working abroad doing winter & summer seasons for the past 5 years, and loves the lifestyle that it brings getting to experience so many new things and meet loads of lovely new people. Katie learned how to ski in Les Gets and loves the PDS ski area and has many fond memories here!
Helen & Phil
RESORT CREW
Helen and Phil have always loved the mountains and a few years ago gave up professional careers, a 9-5 lifestyle and followed their dream of working in the mountains and doing a ski season. After 3 seasons in La Tania & 3 winter seasons with us at Chalet Claire Vallee and Ferme de la Coutettaz, they’re now in Morzine for good! You’ll find them hosting in the winter and taking care of our chalets and gardens in the summer. They’re an integral part of the Reach team and we don’t know what we’d do without them!
Ailbhe
Booking Coordinator and Guest Services
Ailbhe is from Limerick, Ireland. She studied hotel management and has worked in various hotels and and roles in hospitality since graduating. She loves travelling and is just back from exploring some of south east Asia! Ailbhe has always loved skiing since her first trip to Colorado. Since then, she has spent time skiing in Austria and Spain and has now moved with her partner to Morzine to be closer to the slopes and mountain air and is really excited to be part of the Reach 4 the Alps team.
TANGUY & GINA
Chalet hosts
Tanguy and Gina will be your Chalet Hosts this season. With Tanguy’s background as a professional chef in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, France, and the UK, and Gina’s experience in restaurants, bars, and hotels, they are dedicated to ensuring guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. In their free time, they enjoy skiing and exploring the mountains and are happy to share their tips and experiences with guests. Having worked together for three years across various settings, from restaurants to chateaus, they have honed their skills in taking exceptional care of their guests.
Lois & Leah
RESORT CREW
Twin sisters Leah and Lois, hailing from the Welsh mountains, are back with Reach4theAlps for their third winter season!
These two are not only fantastic cooks and wonderful hosts, but also true mountain enthusiasts. When they’re not looking after our guests in the chalet, you’ll find them skiing, snowboarding, road biking (yes, even in winter!) or hiking the local trails.
They’re apparently not identical twins… but can you tell them apart? 😉.
Noa & Gustavo
RESORT CREW
Noa and Gustavo will be joining the Reach4thealps team for the first time. Gustavo is from Portugal and has a big love for surfing and photography. Noa is from The Netherlands and has a heart for traveling and adventure. Both of them have been dreaming of working in the snow for a while and this season it will become reality! You will find Gustavo behind the steering wheel as the resort driver and Noa will be looking after the property and the guest as part of the Resort crew. On their time off you will find them snowboarding the mountain 😉
