Combloux
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. 13 farms still operate.
Combloux is only few minutes from prestigious 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.
Despite growth on the outskirts of Combloux within the last 10 years, the traditional-style bars and restaurants still give a feel for the ‘real’ rural alpine France.
The resort of Combloux is perfect for a summer mountain holiday where traditional style and beautiful scenery are paramount to your itinerary. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone happy, including tours of the village on horse-drawn carriages, numerous scenic walks and farm visits with many more sporting activities in nearby. For more things to do, serious shopping and famous restaurants, a visit to close by cosmopolitan Megève is a must.
Wednesday is market day in Combloux.
From Combloux village itself, enjoy a variety of scenic views of beautiful Mont-Blanc, Fiz and Aravis mountain ranges. Numerous viewpoints from the village or the top of Combloux; orientation tables can be found at La Cry, in the village centre and by the Plan d'eau Biotope, a beautiful ecological lake - perfect for family swimming (to keep the water quality high, the number of swimmers is limited, so ensure you book). Our featured residence, Les Fermes du Mont Blanc, has the most spectacular views of the Mont Blanc.
