With its panoramic views of Mont Blanc, wooden chalets, ancient church, medieval fountains and rustic vibes, Combloux offers a taste of rural Alpine France in a spectacular setting.
A neighbour to more upmarket Megève, it gives access to over 100 slopes in the Portes du Mont-Blanc ski area between 1,200m and 1,930m – mostly blues and reds – and it’s just an hour away from Geneva airport making it an ideal weekend getaway. What’s not to love?
The pistes are family-friendly, with many cutting through forests of fir trees, and with Mont Blanc in the background, the views are great for your ’gram.
The resort is open from mid-December through to the end of March. For the best skiing, January and February usually offer the most snow reliable months but December is actually one of the most magical times to visit Combloux thanks to its traditional Christmas festivities, which include local markets selling crafts, mulled wine, crêpes, and other delicacies.
Visitor numbers peak in February with kids on half-term. With its longer daylight hours, March offers quieter pistes, classic spring skiing conditions, and better opportunities for long lunches on the terraces where you can kick back and just admire the view.
