mountain chalet

Ski slope retreat

A mountain chalet is a wooden house or cabin in an alpine setting, typically featuring a sloping roof, wide eaves, and balconies—architecture developed to handle heavy snow.

The term evokes rustic comfort in ski country: We rented a mountain chalet for the week.

Chalets range from modest vacation rentals to luxury lodges.
