To me, tourism=chalet is a building that you'd rent with a group or  
family for holidays, usually in or close to a village. An alpine hut  
on the other hand is usually higher up in the mountains and further  
from civilization, which operates more like a youth hostel. So I think  
your proposal should stand.
