Unspoilt by tourist developments, and with a
360-degree panorama of Mont-Blanc, Combloux is often
aptly referred to as ‘the Pearl of Mont
Blanc’, respectful of the traditions of
the French Alps with its ancient church,
medieval fountains, old rustic buildings, traditional
farmhouses and wooden chalets. Despite recent growth
on the outskirts, the traditional-style bars and
restaurants still give a feel for the
‘real’ rural alpine France.
There are 2 day nurseries in Combloux for children
(from 3 months old) to chose from conveniently
situated at the bottom of the ski runs and in the
town centre. Not surprising Combloux holds the
‘Famille Plus Montagne’ label for its
children facilities (nurseries, ski kindergarten,
activities…).
There are plenty of activities in Combloux to keep
everyone happy, including non-skiers, such as tours
of the village on horse drawn carriages, numerous
scenic snowshoe trails, farm visits, and traditional
folklore evenings. Wednesday is market day and there
are good amenities such as banks, library, butcher,
hairdresser, laundry … The luxurious health
spa area at Plan – Perret includes 2 Saunas, 2
Turkish baths and a Jacuzzi. For more things to do,
serious shopping, famous restaurants a visit to close
by cosmopolitan Megève is a must.
Combloux is only few minutes from prestigious ski
resorts such as Megève (4 km) and Chamonix (30
km) and is very easily accessed from the motorway
exit (Sallanches, 8km); TGV station and is only 70km
from Geneva airport.
