A small drag lift just above our studio connects you to the main Combloux chairlifts and ski school area. Our studio is ideally located for direct access onto the main pistes and return doorstep skiing is possible during winter months.

Combloux is an ideal family skiing location, where all levels and abilities of skiers/snowboarders are catered for admirably. Combloux has many advantages over many of the major ski resorts in that it is able to offer cheaper lift passes, uncrowded pistes with panoramic views, traditional savoyarde restaurants, and virtually no lift queues to name but a few.

In addition to the above, there is an excellent ski school with some 75 instructors waiting to give you some personal advice and guidance on improving your snowsport technique.(many of these speak excellent English)... And for the more adventurous, there are 4 guides for high mountain excursions. The ski school also offers creche facilities for the 3 - 6 year olds - which allows adults time to ski independently of their off-spring.

Nearby Ski Resorts
We recommend bringing your own car or hiring one upon arrival, as this opens up accessability to other major ski resorts in the local area:-
Megeve (5 minutes by car), Prz-sur-Arly (10 mins), Les Contamines (25 mins), Chamonix (30 mins), Argentierre (45 mins), Flaine (50 mins), Les Houches (25 mins) and Passy 30 mins).
If however, you decide not to hire or bring your own car, then a local ski bus will take you to some of the nearby resorts for a small charge) Details obtained from the village Tourist Office.

Other Winter Attractions
Of course you do not necessarily have to be a skier/snowboarder to enjoy this wonderful region. The towns and villages all have their own individual charm and character. Megeve for example (5 mins) is full of designer shops, where hours can be spent just meandoring through the cobbled streets or relax in one of the many fashionable bars and restaurants - the choice is yours. There is an outdoor skating rink which is open to the general public or you may be fortunate to see an ice hockey match in progress.

A little further along the valley is Chamonix, where you can experience all the excitement of an International Ski Resort. Lots to do for everyone here. (see local tourist office for attractions on offer).

Sallanches is a traditional market town, where all reasonably priced goods can be purchased, especially on market day.

Trips and outings are organised weekly from many of the nearby villages and towns - see local tourist office for further information.

If skiing does not appeal to you, then why not try hiring a pair of snow shoes and explore for yourself one of the many beautiful walks available around this very picturesque region.
