Le Primpiolet

Of course there are plenty of other activities in the area - tennis, horse-riding, potholing, paragliding and via ferrata are just a few of them. And when you return to Le Primpiolet at the end of the day, you can relax with a drink on the balcony with a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc!

Combloux, nicknamed the pearl of Mont Blanc, has a small supermarket, butcher, baker, pharmacy, bars and restaurants, and there are more facilities in nearby Sallanches, Megève and St Gervais. A lot of the surrounding villages have good markets, where you can buy fresh produce and local specialities.

About the property ...

Le Primpiolet is a penthouse apartment for 9 (7 adults), with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

When you arrive, you can take the stairs or the lift to the third floor, which is all dedicated to Le Primpiolet. The hall will take you straight in to the open-plan living area. The well-equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, and the sociable island unit means that even when you are cooking, you're never far from the conversation. Enjoy your meal at the dining table by the fire, or in warmer weather you can eat out on the balcony while you enjoy the Mont Blanc view.

After dinner, get together for a chat or perhaps watch a film - this cosy seating area gets extra light from the Velux roof window. If you're not quite ready to relax, try your luck on the arcade-style games machine!

The four bedrooms are under the eaves on both sides of the living area. There are three double rooms (one has twinable beds), two of which have en suite shower rooms with WCs. One also has a desk space for those who want to work remotely during their stay. There's also a room with one single bed and one set of bunk beds, which is perfect for children, and a bathroom with a bath and a separate WC.

On the practical side, there's a useful laundry room with a washing machine and separate dryer. There's a ski locker with a boot warmer on the ground floor, as well as parking spaces.

About the area ...

Just 250m from the centre of Combloux, Le Primpiolet apartment is in a great location for guests who want to explore the wonderful Mont Blanc area without having to rely on their car.

Along with Megève and Saint-Gervais, Combloux is part of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, which has 400km of pistes. If that's not enough, you can explore another 192km of pistes in the Espace Diamant, just a 20-minute drive away. This domaine takes in the resorts of Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Volant, Flumet, and Saisies.

Experienced skiers looking for some stunning night skiing should head for the Vallée Blanche - do hire a guide for this 23km run which, with a 2,000m drop, will take you from the Aiguille du Midi to the Mer de Glace, an almost surreal experience under a full moon.

For a change from skiing, why not try dog-sledding or snow-shoe walking, which are both available within a short drive of Le Primpiolet. For a little more adventure, why not try ice-climbing, via ferrata or paragliding!

When the snow melts, the mountains become the domain of walkers and cyclists. There's so much to see in this varied landscape - explore the Argentière glacier or perhaps the Baroque footpath, a 20km trail from Combloux to Les Contamines-Montjoie which takes you past some of the area's finest baroque buildings. Look out for marmots along the way!

Fancy a swim? The man-made ecological lake at Combloux (open June to September) is just a five-minute walk from Le Primpiolet. Relax in the pure waters fed by mountain streams or enjoy a picnic surrounded by wildflowers and stunning views of Mont Blanc. Children will love the great play area, and there's also a sauna and a hammam, as well as a restaurant.

Golfers can take advantage of the great courses at Chamonix and Megève and the golf of Mont d’Arbois is only 8.5km away from the apartment.

There is so much to discover in this area - you can get all the information you need from the Combloux Tourist Office. Check out the Mont Blanc Destination Pass for special offers and reduced or free entry to many of the area's attractions.
