Chalet Grand Soir...
After an exhilarating day in the mountains, there's no better place to relax than in the Nordic bath on the terrace at Chalet Grand Soir, with wonderful views of the Mont-Blanc mountains.
This bright and airy three-storey chalet for up to 12 guests (10 adults) is located in a quiet location just a short walk from the ski village of Combloux – the free ski bus stops nearby so you can enjoy all the skiing on offer in Combloux, La Giettaz, Megève and the Évasion Mont-Blanc resort. There's even a ski lift right next to Chalet Grand Soir, which is only open when the snow is particularly heavy.
There are incredible hiking and biking trails in and around Combloux, from challenging mountain trails to family-friendly walks taking in lakes, waterfalls and great views.
Of course there are plenty of other activities in the area – tennis, horse-riding, potholing, paragliding and via ferrata are as well as a manmade lake where you can swim, paddle or enjoy a picnic.
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 Saint-Gervais. A lot of the surrounding villages have good markets, where you can buy fresh produce and local specialities.
About the property...
This contemporary three-storey chalet sleeps up to 12 guests (10 adults) in six bedrooms, each with their own bath or shower room.
Starting on the ground floor, you'll enter via a hallway with plenty of storage for your outdoor gear and the garage, which is equipped with ski racks and a heated boot warmer, as well as a charger point for electric cars. There's also a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer, and a bunk room for two, with an en-suite shower room.
Take the stairs up to the first floor, where you'll find the airy, Scandi-style living area, which is flooded with light thanks to large windows, which also lets in the stunning Alpine views. Two sofas and chairs are arranged around a suspended fireplace and a television, where you can get together to watch a film or chat about your day. The well-equipped corner kitchen has everything you need to cook for a large group, and there's a breakfast bar where guests can sit and keep the chef company. The large dining table has room for everyone to enjoy a meal together.
In good weather, you may prefer to congregate on the wide, wraparound terrace, which has another dining table for 12, a large, sheltered seating area and of course, the Nordic-style hot tub, where you can relax and enjoy the wonderful mountain views. A petanque area (3m x 7m) with its own set of balls is waiting for you to enjoy your evenings in Combloux.
There's a double room on this floor, with an en-suite shower room and WC. You'll find four more bedrooms on the top floor, all of which have doors to a balcony. There's a spacious master suite with a bathroom and dressing area and three double rooms, each with a shower room and WC. One of these rooms has twin beds which can be joined together to make a kingsize bed. The bedrooms all open off a spacious landing, which has a desk for anyone wanting to work remotely.
About the area...
Just a 15-minute walk from the centre of Combloux, Chalet Grand Soir 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 drive from Chalet Grand Soir. 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 Mont d’Arbois course is only 8.5km away..
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.

The OVO Network Review
Chalet Grand Soir is a contemporary, three-storey chalet for 12 guests (10 adults).
There are six bedrooms, each of which has its own bath or shower room and WC. Four of the double rooms also open onto a balcony, where you can enjoy magnificent views over your morning coffee! There's another double room and a bunk room which is perfect for two children.
The spacious living area on the first floor is light and bright, thanks to the huge windows and doors to the terrace. The Scandi-style decor makes for a very relaxing ambiance – get together on the sofas around the suspended woodburner or enjoy a delicious mountain meal together at the dining table.
The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to cater for a large group, and there's a breakfast bar with stools where you can grab a snack.
Doors lead from here out onto the wide, wraparound terrace, where you'll find a sheltered seating area where you can enjoy the fresh air whatever the weather. There's also another dining table for meals under the stars.
Just around the corner is the Nordic bath – like a hot tub but without the bubbles! This will be the perfect place to enjoy a glass of fizz while you enjoy the views.
There's a useful laundry room on the ground floor, as well as storage for your outdoor clothing and a garage with a ski rack and boot warmer.
The charming village of Combloux is just a 15-minute walk away, and with Megève, La Giettaz and Sallanches all just a short drive away, there's plenty to explore. As well as great skiing, there are wonderful hiking and biking trails in the area, and Combloux has a delightful man-made swimming lake, which is a great family day out.

Steve & Bridget
Welcome to Chalet Grand Soir!
We are pleased to welcome you to our chalet, a calm and cosy place where you can relax in comfort and enjoy a wonderful village with stunning views over the Mont-Blanc Massif.
After several years of searching for a mountain home across the Alps, we discovered the charming and friendly village of Combloux and have never looked back. We agreed to buy the chalet in 2022 as it was being built, designed the interiors, took delivery in 2023, and spent 12 months furnishing and fitting it out to enjoy during winter and summer.
We wanted to retain the style of Haute-Savoie chalets, while bringing modernity to the interior spaces. The many windows let in both light and the wonderful Alpine scenery.
We’ve tested everything here to make sure the chalet has everything you need – including a fully equipped kitchen, a relaxed living space, a warm fire, a wonderful terrace, an amazing Nordic bath and extra comfortable beds.
As well as Combloux and Megeve, Chalet Grand Soir is close to many amazing ski areas in winter, as well as great hikes right from the front door in spring, summer, and autumn. You can walk to the centre of Combloux and enjoy its many restaurants, shops, and other amenities.
The village, which has a long heritage of agriculture, is home to over 2,000 permanent residents and is very welcoming to visitors.
We are an Irish/English family living in London who love the mountains and entertaining. We host an annual party at our home in England for friends and family called the Big Night In, so, it was only fitting that we should call our Combloux residence Chalet Grand Soir.
We hope that you will enjoy many big nights and days with friends and family at Chalet Grand Soir.
