Combloux with children: what they love, winter and summer
Combloux holds the Famille Plus family-friendly label, and both apartments were designed with families in mind: Les cimes de l'alpage, the two-storey apartment, has a cabin bedroom with bunk beds and a bathroom for every bedroom; Le lodge de l'alpage also has its bunk-bed cabin, and one of its two double bedrooms has its own shower room. Both have a laundry room, a dishwasher, a travel cot on request, covered parking and a lift that goes from the car park up to your floor: never outside with your luggage.
