First went to Combloux in 2003 and went back every year since. Great French ski area with mostly French people, who enjoy great views, great food, and a well kept secret. Access to bigger slopes and more skiing is easy by car. It's even possible to touch down in Geneva and be on the slopes in the hour.

I arrived back from Combloux two weeks ago .The scenery is terrific and the pistes are good for beginners and intermediates. Megeve is only around 5 kilometers away if you want more skiing. Dave.

I have been skiing in the Combloux region for the past 15 years and have also enjoyed some summer holidays in the region. It's very beautiful with lots of great restaurants and skiing for all levels available in the area. I would recommend it for families, beginners and intermediate skiers. More experienced skiers will find plenty to keep them entertained at Les Contamines or Chamonix (40mins drive) where there's plenty of steeper stuff and off-piste. Combloux also has a very nice public (but little used) spa which is perfect for an after ski chill out. Just sit back in the jacuzzi and watch the sunset on Mont Blanc. Amazing!

Beautiful village close to Megeve. Great skiing for all levels and found ski school well organised and instructors we used were fluent English speakers and generally very good. Combloux is viewed in France as being a resort at the forefront of safety on the pistes and we certainly found that the Securite des Pistes came to us and suggested we wore helmets. Absolutely beautiful views and looking forward to going back sooner rather than later.

Just arrived back from Combloux. All in this area has had brilliant forecasts for about 40 cm snow over a day or so. It arrived as rain - heavy rain. It washed away the snow from our chalet and I admit I did not go to the highest points, but with temperatures at the 1,250 meter point of plus 6 - 8, I cannot see how it could have been snowing up there either. The child care places do not speak English, no matter what they say in the ads, and they left my son alone to cry, despite admitting that they thought it was because he didn't understand what they were saying. Also he was violently sick three hours after being at the child care centre. Very poor service. Very pretty area and the chalet prices were very fair. Sadly the usual French problem for me, nobody wishes to be helpful and when skiing is not possible then it's 25 Euros to sit down, sir Yes, you can have just a coffee, but you must sit near the toilet. My wife and I cut our losses and drove home after two days. Because of the heavy constant rain and the fact that we were unable to find reliable childcare, we never even put our skis on!!!!! It's never been that bad before. I've been three times to the French alps; disappointing every time. That cannot be plain bad luck. I'll never go again and will stick to Andorra. At least there they make snow, you can sit in the finest place if you only want a coffee and they don't sneer at you when you ask if you can help them settle your child in because they don't seem capable themselves.
