The resort of Combloux, Megeve’s little brother, has done a lot of growing up..
on: Wednesday 24th Apr 2013
For a long time the resort of Combloux was known as nearby Megeve’s sleepy little brother and the only thing Combloux had bragging rights over its neighbour was its fantastic uninterrupted views of the majestic Mont-Blanc.
Things have changed. This once sleepy alpine resort is now brimming with activities including music and food festivals along with skiing, running and mountain biking races. Barely a few weeks go by when there isn’t something happening, as you will see from 2013’s remaining calendar of activities . And these are just a selection of what is happening in this popular alpine resort.
