A chalet also called Swiss chalet, is a type of building or house, native to the Alpine region in Europe. It is 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 chalet stems from Arpitan speaking part of Switzerland and French Savoy and originally referred to the hut of a herder. It derives from the medieval Latin calittum, which harks back to the Sanskrit (Indo-European) root cala that means shelter. The modern day name "Chawl" for tenements in Mumbai (Bombay, India) likely shares etymology
