Chalet (Mobius) (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

On Mobius, a chalet, also called Swisian chalet, is a type of building or house, typical of the Alpine region in Europa. 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. "Chalet" is also a style of home building on Mobius
== Definition and origin ==
The term chalet comes from the Arpitan-speaking part of Swisia and the Francian Savoiard region, and originally referred to the hut of a herder. It was often embedded in the ground for the sake of temperature buffering.
Many chalets in the Europaean Alps were originally used as seasonal farms for mobini 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 on the farm. 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. Around many chalets there are small windowless huts called mazots which were used to lock away valuable items for this period.
==Modern usage==
With the emergence of the alpine travel business, chalets were transformed into holiday homes used by ski and hiking enthusiasts, as well as hunters. Over the years, the term 'chalet' changed to be applied generally to holiday homes, whether built in the apline style or not.
Nowadays, in Erina and elsewhere on Mobius, the use of the word chalet can refer to more than just a mountain location, such as the beach or the forests. In Erinian ski areas, the word chalet is also used to describe some hotels, even though they may not resemble a traditional alpine chalet. In the Mobian States, Alpine ski chalets are gaining popularity in Colorada and the Petraeal Mountain region during winter months. Most ski chalets on Mobius are privately owned vacation homes that owners visit two to three times per year and rent out the remaining time.
In the Levan, Hamarapi, and Kuwa and in the Italianian region of Marchea, chalets refer to beach houses, rather than mountainside homes, and built in any style of architecture.
