  REALTOR.com: Ski Chalet Style
In the mid-nineteenth century, the genuine Swiss chalet was perhaps the most appealing of wood-built houses.
As a result, the Swiss chalet soon grew to be a popular cottage style that dotted the English countryside.
It was similar to the original Swiss chalet in that it featured large windows, the extensive use of galleries, second-floor balconies beneath a gabled overhang and railings that had flat board balustrades with decorative motifs.

  Chalet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chalet (pronounced /ˈʃæleɪ/), also called Swiss chalet, is a type of building in the Alpine region made of wood.
The term chalet is also used in the Hospitality Industry to describe detached cottages (semi-detached are called duplex or triplex) in other settings, including seaside resorts and as an adjunct to motel accommodation.
These chalets can be similar to studio apartments with self-contained cooking facilities and/or bathroom and toilet facilities, or can be family suites in a serviced environment.

 PEI Talk :: View topic - Swiss Chalet
Swiss Chalet used to be a great restaurant in my books but I know a lot of the staff there and I see how badly they are treated on a very regular basis and that alone will make me never eat there again.
I believe that your staff are the people who create repeat business and Swiss Chalet treats their staff with disrespect, no loyalty whatsoever and often makes it out to be their fault when really behind then is their owner company Cara reaping in millions a year.
Swiss Chalet is Swiss Chalet regardless of who makes the food and who serves the food.

 Live Music Swindon | The Swiss Chalet, Swindon | Arkell's Brewery
The Swiss Chalet is just as spectacular outside as it is inside - a long, sweeping roof making it a building that is almost unique outside the Alps.
It inherited that name from a former pub which stood nearby at the junction of Cricklade Road and Chapel Street, which Arkell's bought in 1877 and which was sadly demolished due to road widening.
Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball are among the jazz giants who have played at the pub in recent years - and helped Arkell's celebrate its 150th anniversary there in 1993 - but The Swiss Chalet is also renowned as a showcase for young Swindon pop bands.
