A chalet can conjure up all kinds of images. Long before they became fashionable bases for skiers, they had a very different function. The original chalets were defined as a type of building or house, native to the Alpine region in Europe. They were made of wood, with a heavy, gently sloping roof and wide, well-supported eaves set at right angles to the front of the house.

The term originally referred to the hut of a herder. The word chalet is derived from the medieval Latin calittum, which harks back to the Indo-European cala, or shelter. Many chalets in the Alps were originallyused as seasonal farms for dairy cattle which would be brought up from the lowland pastures during the summer months. The herders would live in the chalet and make butter and cheese in order to preserve the milk produced. These products would then be taken, with the cattle, back to the low valleys before the onset of the alpine winter. The chalets would remain locked and unused during the winter months. What a waste!
