Ski / Summer Apartments in Combloux, Megeve
Quiet Location 3 Minutes Walk From Meadows and Ski Lift.
1 and 2 Bedroom Apartments (Sleeping 2 to 6)
|
|
The apartments are on the ground floor of an attractive pine clad chalet on a quiet site located beside pine woods and alpine meadows near Combloux village. They are compact, which is cosy in winter, but sensibly laid out; and well equipped with plenty of storage space and independent heating and hot water. There are adjacent apartments available, which is great for families and friends holidaying together. Book by the week or flexible dates! Combloux is an unspoilt traditional Savoie village, only recently gaining fame in the UK although it was one of the first ski resorts established in France due to its good snow record, magnificent views of Mont Blanc and excellent central position. It is just 8km (15 mins) from the Calais-Geneva-Chamonix autoroute.

Owner profile
About the owner
We bought the apartments in 1991 for our own family holidays and have been letting ever since. We created one of the first booking websites and have introduced hundreds of UK holidaymakers to this beautiful village.
Year purchased: 1991
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Combloux is about the most accessible ski resort by car from Calais or Geneva and central to a dozen nearby resorts. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty which has escaped the large scale developments that would put it on the beaten track for commercial holidays. And the skiing is good for all levels of ability.
In summer, compared with Scotland we found the scenery more spectacular and not plagued with midges. Compared with Cornwall we found there was more to do outdoors and the weather was far better. Nice beaches too!
Unique benefits of the property
Skiing, walking, relaxing, fresh air and fantastic Pays du Mont Blanc scenery. Dozens of outdoor activities and places to visit. Wine, cheese, charcuterie and French culture.
