Practical information

Combloux is a ski resort in the Northern Alps range, in Évasion Mont-Blanc, Haute-Savoie. The ski area spans 60 km of runs between 1,000 m and 1,852 m, served by 16 lifts. Day lift pass €52 per adult.

* Price per adult for 1 day, public high-season rate. Reduced rates (online purchase, outside school holidays, families, children, seniors) are generally offered by the resort.

ℹ️ These figures refer to the Portes du Mont-Blanc (Combloux – Megève Jaillet – La Giettaz – Cordon) ski area, shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all. The values shown here and on the neighbouring resort pages therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass: they don’t add up.

Did you know?
It was Victor Hugo who gave it its nickname: "the pearl of the Alps in its glacier setting". The village faces Mont Blanc, with a 360° panorama over the Aravis and the Warens needles.
Its Saint-Nicolas church has one of the finest onion-domed bell towers in Savoy: 45 metres high, double bulb, octagonal galleries and a metal spire made of thousands of steel plates. Listed as a Monument historique since 1971.
The village is home to France's first biotope swimming lake open for bathing: more than 10,000 aquatic plants regenerate the water, without a single chemical product.

✍️ Our verdict on Combloux

A resort on a human scale, Combloux focuses on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than on impressive figures. Its 60 km of runs are ideal for a stay of 3 to 4 days, especially for families or skiers who don't need to constantly change their playground. Combloux's family reputation is well deserved: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. Combloux's modest altitude — base at 1,000 m, summit at 1,852 m — makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you leave is strongly advised. The budget for a stay in Combloux is clearly high: €52 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short, Combloux is one of those rare resorts that combines a genuine village, a sincere family atmosphere and runs suited to everyone. It's hard to have a bad stay here.

🏔️ Évasion Mont-Blanc

Megève, Saint-Gervais, Combloux, La Giettaz and Les Contamines-Montjoie, joined together at the foot of the roof of Europe. Megève, created in the 1920s by the Baroness de Rothschild, who wanted a French Saint-Moritz, remains the resort of French elegance: a medieval village, horse-drawn carriages, Michelin-starred tables. Skiing here is rather gentle, on long runs through the forest with generous sun exposure. One nuance: of the 445 km announced by the lift pass, only 263 km are actually linked by lifts; Les Contamines and Cordon require a transfer. The panorama of Mont Blanc, however, is constant.
