Chalet Galata

The free shuttle bus, which stops nearby, will take you to the slopes of Megève and La Giettaz in winter, as well as the entire Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area. You can also explore the area with the historic Mont-Blanc Tramway and soak in the waters of the Thermes de Saint-Gervais.

Outside the ski season, Chalet Galata is a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area on foot or by bike, with a huge choice of trails.

About the property…

Chalet Galata is a well-appointed three-storey property for up to 12 guests in five bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath or shower room. The floors are connected by a lift, making it suitable for those with limited mobility.

The entrance on the ground floor leads to a double bedroom with a private balcony, and another which also has bunk beds for two children. Both rooms have shower rooms with WCs, one of which is wheelchair accessible.

This level also has a sauna, a ski room with a heated boot dryer, and a two-car garage with a charging point for electric vehicles.

The first floor is dedicated to the spacious, open-plan living area, which has an impressive ceiling height of 6m. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with light, and open onto a wraparound terrace where you can enjoy a meal or admire the views from the seating area or hot tub. In the summer you can enjoy a game of pétanque in the garden.

Back inside, there's a cosy seating area with a fireplace and a TV corner, as well as a dining area. The modern, fully equipped kitchen has gas and induction hobs, a central island and a large American-style fridge-freezer.

After dinner, you can get together to watch a film in the cinema room before heading to the chalet’s comfortable bedrooms.

The master suite on the first floor has a large double bed, a dressing area, direct access to the terrace, and a bathroom with a shower, bath and toilet.

There are two more double bedrooms on the top floor of Chalet Galata. Both have en-suite shower rooms while one has a dressing room and the other has a private balcony.

The chalet has underfloor heating and cooling, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.

About the area…

Less than a 20-minute walk from the centre of Combloux, Chalet Galata is ideally located for exploring the Mont-Blanc region.

Combloux is part of the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, along with its neighbours Megève, Saint-Gervais and Les Contamines. The Espace Diamant (Praz-sur-Arly, Bellecombe, Crest-Voland, Flumet and Les Saisies) is just a 30-minute drive away.

Experienced skiers will appreciate the opportunity to try night-skiing in the popular Vallée Blanche. This 23km piste with a 2,000m drop links the Aiguille du Midi to the Mer de Glace. A guide is essential to enjoy this magical experience, at its best under the light of the full moon.

Other winter activities available just a short drive from the chalet include dog sledding and snowshoeing. Those looking for adventure can try ice climbing, via ferrata or paragliding.

Outside the ski season, the region becomes a favourite destination for hikers and cyclists. Explore the Argentière glacier or the Baroque trail, a 20km footpath between Combloux and Les Contamines-Montjoie, which takes in some of the region's most beautiful Baroque buildings.

The man-made lake at Combloux is an ecological paradise fed by mountain streams and surrounded by wild flowers. Enjoy a meal in the restaurant or bring a picnic and relax with a view of Mont Blanc while the children have fun in the playground.

The nearby Mont Blanc Tramway is a great way to explore the area. Running from Le Fayet to the Eagles Nest on Mont Blanc, it gives skiers access to resorts such as Les Houches and the Plateau de Bellevue, and in the summer, it takes walkers to higher ground for some superb walks and incredible views. And when it's time to relax, there's not better place than the Thermes de Saint-Gervais (11.2km), where you can enjoy the spa or perhaps book a thermal water treatment.

There is so much to discover in this beautiful area. You can pick up all the information you need at the tourist offices in Sallanches and Combloux, where you can also get the “Mont Blanc Destination Pass” which entitles you to special offers and discounts at many local attractions.
