The chalet pays homage to Mary Isabella Charlet-Straton, an English mountaineer hailing from Sussex, born in 1838. Her legacy includes multiple pioneering ascents in the Alps, most notably the inaugural winter ascent of Mont Blanc in 1876, alongside her future husband, Jean Charlet. Over two decades, Straton and Charlet embarked on numerous climbs, scaling peaks such as Aiguille du Midi and Aiguille de Blaitière—both visible from the chalet. In 1875, they conquered an unnamed summit on Aiguille de Triolet, christening it "Pointe Isabella." In a romantic gesture, the couple triumphed over a new peak in the Aiguilles Rouges in 1881, christening it "Pointe de la Persévérance" as a tribute to their journey to openly express their affection for one another.
