alpine chalet
Swiss ski lodge
An alpine chalet is a wooden house with a steeply pitched roof and wide eaves, traditionally built in mountainous regions of Switzerland and the Alps.
The design developed to shed heavy snow and withstand harsh winters.
The term now applies to any building in this style, particularly ski lodges and vacation homes in mountain resort areas: We rented an alpine chalet for the week.
