Real estate Combloux
The name of Combloux appears for the first time on a parchment, in 1284, on which there is a seal adorned with a wolf's head. Among the possible etymologies, it is generally the one of "cumba lupis" that is retained: "The Wolf's Combe".
Located on the road connecting Megeve to Sallanches, the seat of the deanery around the year 1000, the village of Combloux was populated as early as the 12th century, when the Benedictines from Megeve cleared the region.
The village of Combloux in Haute-Savoie was mainly populated by peasants until a relatively recent period. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the village had 1,000 inhabitants, the "Comblorans" against 2,079 today (source INSEE 2012)
In 1942, Combloux had 134 farms, and to this day, 26 are still active. Young dynamic farmers take over their parents' farm, modernize it, and enthusiastically share their activity. Yes, we can still hope to see herds grazing in our green mountains for a long time!
Tourism began at the start of the century, thanks to a few people coming to rest in the summer at Combloux.
A wealthy clientele, mainly Anglo-Saxon, stayed from 1912 in the "Grand Hotel du Mont Blanc" equipped with leisure facilities (6-hole golf course, tennis, ice rink), an aristocratic and wealthy clientele (ministers, academicians, generals, bankers, the Michelin family...) frequented our village.
Winter tourism developed from the Chamonix Olympic Games, in 1924.
In December 1935, the first ski lift was installed by the PLM Company (Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean).
