About me: Valais and a chalet — this is a
combination that can only mean comfort, exciting
ski winters, magnificent sights and incomparable
luxury.
Although a chalet, from the language Arpitan,
originally meant a herder’s castle, its
meaning has now changed. With the change of modern
lifestyle, those old mountain huts used by cattle
breeders to tend their herds high in the mountains
during summers — they are not
what they used to be. Today, chalets are either
converted or newly built holiday homes that might
or might not follow the style of the traditional
Swiss chalet. Villas called chalets can even be
found at the seaside, but still, the original
romance is not gone — to most
people, a chalet evokes pictures of snowy slopes,
relaxation, adventure and warm fires at the fall
of night. |
