Swiss cottage? (6)

I believe the answer is:

chalet

'swiss cottage?' is the definition.
(type of cottage often found in Swiss Alps)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for chalet that I've seen before include "Wooden house of Alpine regions" , "Swiss-style holiday house" , "Swiss cottage or small villa" , "Originally an alpine cowherd's hut" , "Wooden villa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard and The Star Tribune.
