The term chalet, which is applied to the picturesque wooden houses found in Swiss 

 villages, properly belongs to the rough mountain huts shown in the picture. These huts 

 are used by the cowherds and cheese-makers, who accompany the cattle during the long 

 summer visits to the high Alps, where the herds pasture.
