Chalet Alpayak

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.

The property ... 

Chalet Alpayak is the perfect destination for a family mountain retreat close to Mont-Blanc. Up to eight guests can enjoy its soothing atmosphere and the surrounding mountain views.

As soon as you step inside, you'll discover a convenient ski room in the garage. This is the perfect place to store your outdoor gear after a long day in the mountains.

There are two comfortable bedrooms on the ground floor, as well as a bathroom with a bath and a separate WC, ensuring everyone in your group has the space they need to get ready for the next day.

On the first floor, you will find another double room with a TV. This bedroom also has access to a balcony, where you can enjoy the fresh mountain air and take in the stunning views - what a way to wake up! There's another bathroom on this floor with a shower and an independent WC.

The living area is an open and welcoming space with plenty of seating. This is the perfect place to gather with friends and family and relax in front of the fireplace.

In the same space you'll find a lovely dining area that features a large dining table and comfortable chairs, and a kitchen that is compact but well-equipped, with everything you'll need to cook wonderful meals for the whole group (including a dishwasher). This area is flooded with natural light, creating a bright and warm atmosphere for memorable meals together.

The second floor is the mezzanine level - with a bedroom with two single beds, a play area, and a desk, it's a great place for children.

About the area...

Chalet Alpayak is in a great location for those who love mountain sports, whatever their level - Combloux, along with Megève, and Saint-Gervais, is part of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, and it's just a 20-minute drive to the Espace Diamant, which comprises Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Volant, Flumet, and Saisies. This area played host to the winter Olympics in 1992.

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 Chalet Alpayak. For a little more adventure, why not try ice climbing, via ferrata or paragliding!

In the summer, 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? Head for the man-made ecological lake at Combloux (open June to September), just 1km away where you can relax in the pure waters fed by mountain streams surrounded by wildflowers and stunning views of Mont Blanc. Take a picnic and relax while the kids enjoy the great play area. 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 8,5 km away from the chalet.

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.
