Summer 2026 – Front Desk Positions Available!

We’re Hiring!

About Alpenglow Expeditions

Alpenglow Expeditions is a leader in modern adventure and expedition travel, offering premium, professionally guided courses and expeditions in Tahoe and across all seven continents. From the Tahoe Via Ferrata to 8,000-meter peaks, we aim to leverage the power of the mountains to create positive change in the world.

Every day, we get to be a part of that process. Our guides run expeditions from Ecuador to Everest, and our front desk team is part of the same team.

Front Desk Position | Summer 2026 | Starting at $20/hr

You’ll be the first face our guests see before they head out on the most unique adventure in Tahoe. When someone walks in for their Via Ferrata day, they’re nervous and excited, and it’s your job to set the tone.

No two mornings are the same. You’ll start by checking guests in and shuttling them up to the base of the climb in Olympic Valley. Once teams are on the mountain, the day shifts to helping future guests figure out which experience is right for them. By the end of the day, you’re welcoming those same guests back to the office. For most of them, it was the best day they’ve ever spent in the mountains, and you were part of making it happen.

We have full time and part time positions, available now with the potential to extend into winter.

What You’ll Do

  • Open the office and prepare for client arrival each morning
  • Check guests in and make sure they’re ready for their experience
  • Shuttle guests to the Via Ferrata trailhead in a 4×4 vehicle on a dirt road
  • Manage incoming calls and client email inquiries throughout the day
  • Help guests decide which course or experience fits their goals
  • Be a knowledgeable and welcoming resource for everyone who comes through the door

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 1 year of customer service or guest-facing experience
  • Comfort with digital platforms and standard office tools (Microsoft Word, Excel, Gmail)
  • Ability to stay organized and focused through a busy, interrupt-driven workday
  • Clean driving record and willingness to learn to operate a 4×4 vehicle on dirt roads

Bonus Points

AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) certification: if you have it, please tell us. It’s a meaningful credential in our world, and we’ll take notice.

Who You Are

You live an active, outdoor lifestyle and want to be around people who do the same. You’re energized by mountain culture, comfortable adapting to a fast-moving day, and genuinely invested in the people in front of you. A guiding background isn’t required, but an appreciation for why people pursue these experiences goes a long way here.
