Chalets are the traditional houses most commonly built in the Alpine regions. They are made of wood, with a heavy, gently sloping roof with wide, well-supported, eaves, set at right angles to the front of the house. Initially, the Alps were used as seasonal farms for dairy cattle which would be brought up from the lowland pastures during the summer months. The herders, who would own the cattle, would live in the chalet and make butter and cheese out of cattle's milk in order to preserve the milk produced.

In modern days, Chalets are most commonly used as holiday homes. As the Alps became an increasingly popular tourist destination, chalets were re-introduced as tourist resorts mainly for use by ski and hiking enthusiasts.
