Restaurant Manager at STF Abisko

The Swedish Tourist Association runs nine mountain stations
STF Abisko Tourist Station is a place unlike any other, right in the heart of the magnificent mountain landscape, surrounded by dramatic views, the northern lights and unique nature experiences all year round. Here you have the chance to work in an inspiring environment where adventure, community and nature are always close by. Read more here.
Life at a mountain station is varied, exciting and educational, just like a day in the mountains can be. In addition to accommodation, food and nature experiences, our operations are built on encounters between people. In our encounters with our guests, we create memories, share knowledge and offer experiences beyond the ordinary.
We have several restaurant concepts, from breakfast and lunch buffets to à la carte, bistro and special dining experiences. Our operations are characterised by international guests, major seasonal variations and high demands for quality, collaboration and efficient production. Our values, considerate, curious, genuine, professional and committed, permeate our entire organisation and way of working.
