Skiing for the whole day may be very tiring. Waiting in the queue for ski lifts, changing slopes, skiing on a really long track - all that may make us want to relax for a moment. We can just sit and enjoy the beautiful views around us, but we can also go to one of the many chalets in the area. Those existing in European ski resorts are not cosy huts any more. They were transformed into huge complexes, with everything needed inside. One of their main function now is not providing a place to sleep, but a place to eat.
