Will you be lucky enough to be one of the very few guests to enjoy this ultra-confidential and highly prized restaurant in Combloux? If the address is so much talked about, it is both for its extremely small capacity and for the chef who is at the head of it: Christophe Crotet, trained at the Maison Troisgros and then with Paul Bocuse and Fredy Girardet. To reach this prestigious address, you will have to choose in winter between arriving by ski, snowshoes or helicopter for lunch and by snowmobile or snowcat for dinner. It’s an atypique meal!

What could be more fun than building an igloo or a hut, hiking with donkeys, gathering around a campfire, spending the night in a teepee, and sledding or canoeing?

Organised by the resort over a period of 6 days, these courses are available in three options depending on the season (summer, autumn, winter) and the age of the participants: 4-5 years, 6-9 years and 0-13 years.

Fans of BMX, mountain biking, skateboarding, rollerblading and scootering will be delighted in Combloux as the resort has had a 210 metre long pumptrack, divided into 2 circuits, since 2016.
