Meet the Team

Reach4thealps 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), and still to this day argue over which resort is best!
Owners

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 her & Marcus 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 have a portfolio of catered and self-catered properties in Morzine. In between all that, they somehow managed to fit in getting married and having 2 kids in the process!
Operations Manager

Jo

Jo has been our Ops Manager since 2019. Her past experiences working as a host on board catamarans in Greece and Croatia meant a smooth transition into chalet hosting and since then, into our office! 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!
Resort Crew

Helen and Phil

Helen and Phil have always loved the mountains and so gave up their professional careers and 9-5 lifestyle to follow their dream of working in the mountains to work ski seasons. After 3 seasons in La Tania, they joined us at Reach4theAlps and the rest is history! You’ll find them hosting, driving, cleaning, mowing lawns, cleaning hot tubs - the list is endless. They’re an integral part of the Reach team and we don’t know what we’d do without them!
Chalet Managers

Gina and Tanguy

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 over three years across various settings, from restaurants to chateaus, they have honed their skills in taking exceptional care of their guests.

Andres & Sol

We’re Andrés and Sol, a couple from Argentina who love travelling, discovering new cultures and meeting new people. We spent three years living and working in restaurants & cafe's in New Zealand, where we were constantly surrounded by mountains and the outdoors. This experience sparked our desire to discover the French Alps and experience life in the mountains from a new perspective.
In our free time, we love exploring new places, trying different food and going hiking. Sol is a baker who loves cooking and keeping active, while Andrés enjoys music and exploring new places by bike.
We’re really excited about this new adventure in the French Alps, meeting the team, sharing experiences with our guests and making the most of the winter season!

Jack

Hi, I’m Jack, a 21-year-old from the UK and I’ll be joining the team in Morzine this winter! I’ve been skiing in the Alps since I was four, so spending a full season in the mountains has always been a dream of mine.

I have several years of experience working in hospitality, in kitchens as well as bar and waiting roles. I’m a very sociable person and love meeting new people, trying new things and being part of a team.

Outside of work, I’m a big Manchester United fan, very keen on my fitness and nutrition, and of course, an avid skier! I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into the season, exploring Morzine and helping make sure everyone has an amazing time in the mountains.

Hi everyone! We’re Maie, 28, and Emily, 20, two Brits very excited to be swapping the UK for a ski season. We’re both big travellers and love exploring new places. This last year we have been working together out in Australia and spent time travelling around Southeast Asia and Scotland, and we can’t wait for our next trip to begin in the mountains!

We’re both completely new to the world of skiing, so we’re super excited to give it a go! Between us, we have a range of hospitality experience, working both front of house and kitchen roles, with a big love for baking and cooking! Look forward to meeting everyone out there!

Dave

Hello, my name is David. I've been living in the Alps for the last 20 years or so. My favorite pastimes are sailing, motorcycling, and of course skiing, but I tend to lean on the snowboard side of things, also involved in amateur dramatics  I'm kind of a happy-go-lucky sort of guy and love living here in the Alps.
