Condensation
Chalets are different to houses, they need to breath to stop a build up of condensation, especially in the spring, or if it is raining. If you leave the windows on vent when you sleep, or go out it helps a lot.
Please open the bathroom window during and after a shower, especially in Chalet 38, this really helps to stop the build up of condensation.
