From traditional construction with flat gabled roofs, wide eaves, and robust, weathered wooden facades with stone bases to modern interpretations with clean lines, large panoramic windows, and fine details—the 67 masterfully designed chalets presented in this volume are as diverse and multifaceted as they come. These houses are characterized by their strong connection to nature and their enchanting promise, as well as their design dominated by natural wood, which has been artfully staged by the architects and designers.

Sometimes excitingly contrasting, sometimes harmoniously holistic, light or dark, modern or classic, pure or in combination with other materials—the selected chalets always radiate a warm, protective, and homely atmosphere.
