Wow! I stayed there with my family around 1971 just as I was getting interested in (the idea of) climbing. Over my climbing years I spent many (many!) hours in the cafe. I always dreamt of taking my own family to stay at the chalet but by the time that was an option the dream had disappeared after the chalet closed.

Whatever else you can about the Chalet, as accommodation goes the location was to die for! I'm really glad the cafe is operating again, and I hope the business is successful. There was nothing better than a cold milkshake after Angels!

I stayed there a few times as a child staying in Siberia way up the back left wing of the Chalet. Last time was on my honeymoon where we booked the top tower room.

Hopefully they can keep it open, but with diesel prices ATM, it's going to be challenging if they can't connect to the grid.

LOL! We stayed in Siberia as well. That was a wonderful (and appropriate!) nickname for that part of the hotel!
