Combloux chalets
architect & project manager.

Atelier NovAlp designs and builds your chalet in Combloux, the Pearl of Mont Blanc: new builds, renovation, extensions, in keeping with the local plan, the views of the massif and the traditional timber chalet. Architecture, project management and general contracting under a single contract, from Aix-les-Bains.

Combloux, the Pearl of Mont Blanc

Nicknamed “the Pearl of Mont Blanc”, Combloux offers a head-on panorama of the massif that made its name. An authentic village in the Pays du Mont-Blanc, next to Megève, it combines traditional timber chalets, Baroque heritage (the Saint-Nicolas church and its onion-domed bell tower) and a family clientele alongside high-end second homes.

Building or renovating in Combloux means working with two precious requirements: the Savoyard chalet style and the preservation of views of Mont Blanc, both carefully protected by the local plan. Projects range from building a chalet to the careful renovation of an existing property, in a high-value area.

We carry out these projects as project manager or turnkey general contractor, with our in-house teams and a site manager on hand throughout, from our office in Aix-les-Bains.

A chalet facing Mont Blanc: attention to detail

In Combloux, a chalet's siting and orientation are decisive: the aim is to capture the view of Mont Blanc while respecting the neighbours and the local plan rules (Savoyard style, preservation of views). Our in-house design office works on these issues from the initial sketch.

Altitude constraints apply: snow loads, enhanced insulation, a shorter building window. In an area with strong pressure on land, optimising every project and coordinating the trades properly make all the difference.

The energy renovation of an old chalet remains a major lever for comfort and value. Our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to grants (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, éco-PTZ).

Frequently asked questions · Combloux

Building or renovating at altitude in Combloux: what are the constraints?
Altitude brings real requirements: preserving views of Mont Blanc, snow loads, enhanced insulation, and a shorter building window (most works take place outside the ski season). A project manager who genuinely coordinates the trades is essential to deliver on time.
Does the Combloux local plan require the Savoyard chalet style?
In ski resorts, the appearance of buildings is tightly regulated (materials, timber and stone, roofs, colours, massing). We design every project with these rules in mind from the initial sketch, which secures the permit and avoids revisions.
Do you work in Combloux from Aix-les-Bains?
Yes. Our office is in Aix-les-Bains and we work in Combloux and the surrounding area, in Haute-Savoie. A NovAlp site manager provides continuous supervision, and the general contracting option lets you manage the project remotely between stays.
Do you carry out the work yourselves?
Yes. We carry out the works with our own teams, who know our standards. A single point of contact from start to finish.
Are you an architect?
Our manager is a state-qualified architect (French DEA degree), and we work as project managers and general contractors. When a project requires an architect registered with the Ordre des architectes, we bring in a registered architect.
