R6 Chalet Guide (2026): Sites, Callouts and Defence Setups

Chalet is a ski lodge in the French Alps and one of the original Siege maps. For years it wasn't taken seriously in competitive play, and Ubisoft said so itself when it rebuilt the map: "in its previous state it was not as viable as other maps". The rework changed that, and in 2026 Chalet is one of the nine maps in Ubisoft's competitive pool, which keeps it in Ranked for the whole season. It was also one of the five maps modernized for Siege X in June 2025. This guide goes floor by floor through the four sites, what the rework changed, the outside and roof play the snow makes tricky, and a plan for each site.

Chalet in the 2026 pool

The BLAST R6 Global Rulebook for the 2026 season (last update September 2026) lists nine competitive maps, Chalet among them. Ubisoft's Operation System Override page (2 June 2026) says those Pro League maps "remain fixed for the full season" in Ranked, and its 2 November 2026 recap ends the seasonal Ranked rotations from next season, with about 15 maps per season "including the nine maps currently played in Pro competition". So the time you put into Chalet now carries into Y11S4. Its Ubisoft page lists Courchevel, France, the base game (December 2015) and the Siege X rework of June 2025.

The rework that made Chalet competitive

Ubisoft's rework write-up says it "focused on the Objectives and how balanced they were", keeping the look players recognise while changing cover, access points and rotations. Here is everything it lists:

• BasementAlready strong: minor changes, plus one hallway to improve rotation between the basement sites.
• Wine CellarNo longer split into two rooms.
• DiningA new site in Dining replaced the Trophy site.
• Bar and GamingDoors moved; a new hallway on the south side links them.
• Stairs and SolariumThe stairs from the first floor now connect Trophy and the new Solarium, which replaces the balcony next to Master Bedroom.
• BathroomNo longer opens straight into Bedroom; it's a rotation point now.
• MezzanineExtended to the Office Balcony, where most windows were blocked.
• RoofRoof access with new rappel points.

The biggest changes were upstairs, and they explain why Master Bedroom / Office plays so differently from the old version. The Bathroom no longer opens straight into Bedroom, so defenders can't use it as a free escape, but it's now a rotation point between rooms. The Solarium took over the old balcony next to Master Bedroom, and the stairs from the first floor now come up from Trophy into it. If you learned Chalet years ago, forget the old upstairs: it's a different site.

Basement: Wine Cellar / Snowmobile Garage

Ubisoft called the basement "already quite strong" before the rework and only changed it a little. In SiegeGG's tracked pro rounds it's now the site defenders win least, at 48%. Our read: one long, narrow level is easy for a coordinated attack to squeeze from above and from two doors, and hard for five defenders to rotate inside once they're pinched. In solo queue, where attacks are less coordinated, it still plays as a strong defence; just don't let attackers settle on the floor above.

1F: Kitchen / Dining

Dining is the rework's new site and replaced Trophy; SiegeGG still lists the old Kitchen / Trophy pair at 56% over 449 rounds. The new pair is more balanced at 52%. Kitchen / Dining is a ground-floor site, so attackers can come through windows and walls from outside as well as through the house. Watch both. Our vertical play guide explains how to use the floor above a site without wasting your whole team on it.

1F: Bar / Gaming Room

Bar / Gaming is the most played site in SiegeGG's Chalet table, and defenders win 52% there. Ubisoft says the rework changed it "mostly in access and rotation": doors moved and a new south-side hallway now links the two rooms. That hallway is the whole site. Defenders who own it can switch rooms freely, and attackers who take it have split the site in two.

2F: Master Bedroom / Office

Master Bedroom / Office sits at 50% in SiegeGG's table, and it's the site that changed most. It's where the snow and the roof matter, because attackers can come down from above or through the windows as well as up the stairs. The best defences here don't try to hold every way in; they hold the Solarium and the Bathroom and trade everything else.

Snow, windows and the roof

Ubisoft's description of Chalet promises "the cold, constrained visibility of its exteriors", and it isn't marketing. Outside is darker and noisier to read than the inside, which shapes three habits:

1. Drone the outside, too.

   Before you cross open snow to a window or a wall, run a drone along it. Runouts are hard to see coming here.

2. Use the roof on purpose.

   The rework added roof access with new rappel points. Siege X's advanced rappel lets you sprint along walls and hop around corners, so a roof player can reach a 2F window faster than the defenders expect.

3. Fight inside when you can.

   On attack, get into the building early and let the defenders come to you through the light.

4. Use the Siege X ingredients.

   Chalet got fire extinguishers, metal detectors and gas pipes in June 2025. A shot extinguisher concusses and smokes a doorway; a gas pipe blocks a route with fire.

Operators that suit Chalet

BoostPirate's suggestions for solo queue, not a dated meta list. Ubisoft's operator pages list each gadget.

Dokkaebi got Breach Charges in Y11S3, according to Ubisoft's Split Fire notes, which gives her more to do on soft walls. Goyo's fire hits a little harder since the mid-season (15 October 2026: fire hazard damage from 12 to 14 HP). Operators matter less than the plan, though: see the operator roles guide for what each specialty brings.
