Accommodation & Visa Support
Relocating to Verbier can be challenging, we help make it simple.
We assist all trainees in finding suitable accommodation, whether that’s shared housing, staff accommodation, or private options.
For non-EU passport holders, we support student visa applications, so you can enjoy the whole season.
Career Opportunities
For trainees with EU passports or existing rights to work in Switzerland, strong performance throughout the programme may lead to employment opportunities with Pulse Snowsports.
