Ski-in/ski-out

A pretty village on a sunny balcony, Combloux has the gondola from the edge of the centre; some chalets and residences near the Le Jaillet lift are ski-in/ski-out.

Get to know the resort

Combloux sits on a sunny shelf with one of the most famous views in the Alps, looking straight across to Mont Blanc, which earned it the nickname the pearl of Mont Blanc. Its slopes link into the vast Évasion Mont-Blanc domain shared with Megève and Saint-Gervais, 400 km of mostly gentle, scenic, tree-lined cruising ideal for families. The village keeps its baroque church and farming roots, a calmer and more affordable base than glitzy Megève just next door.

Good to know

  • The piste map leans gentle: 35 green and 45 blue runs against 35 red and 10 black, so beginners and early intermediates rarely run out of comfortable terrain.
  • From 1000 m at the base to 2350 m up top, the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells (score 79/100).
  • It is one of the bigger domains here, 400 km of piste on 100 lifts, enough to ski a different sector every day of a week.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 16 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
