ISABELLE
A local girl, after a BTS in Hotel and Catering in Thonon, punctuated by internships between Germany and the United States, she continued her training with a Complementary Mention in Sommellerie in Alsace.
Having fallen somewhat in love with wine and its history, she left with a diploma in Michelin-starred catering at Régis Marcon*** in Saint Bonnet le froid, then at Gidgleih park **in the county of Devon.
This was followed by ten years at the Impérial Palace as head sommelier, where she practiced competitions and reached the final of the best sommeliers in France in 2018. She then took on a position as beverage purchasing manager for the PVG group before the acquisition of the Hôtel des Alpes with Emmanuel in the fall of 2024.
Emmanuel
Originally from Normandy, he quickly left his region after obtaining his bartending qualification. He joined Club Med where he spent several seasons between Chamonix and Italy.
He left his studies in Annecy and joined the Impérial Palace in 2001 as bar manager. In less than 20 years, he worked at this establishment, where he rose through the ranks and held various positions: restaurant manager and catering director before taking over the management of the Hôtel le Pélican, where he discovered the entire hotel world! A true Swiss Army knife!
PATRIK
Originally from Slovakia, he left his homeland at the age of 17 to complete a cooking internship with his hotel school in Montchavin-les-Coches. Once he had completed the internship, he returned home, but it was short-lived.
Having fallen madly in love with the mountains and local produce, he returned as soon as he came of age.
In order to progress, he gained experience in various resorts and restaurants between La Plagne, Ardèche, Méribel, La Clusaz where the team won a Michelin star in January 2024.
It is with passion and rigor that he loves to delight his guests.
