Residence des Alpes D is a super apartment sleeping up to 5 people, situated right in the centre of Morzine, with views from the 3 balconies over the Dranse river to the historic Savoyard church opposite, and to Avoriaz perched high up on the cliffs beyond. The apartment was created when an historic building (the Hotel des Alpes, built around 1800) was renovated in 2004 and converted into 8 luxury standard apartments. We also manage apartment H (2nd floor, sleeps 8-9). This apartment is on the main floor, with entrance straight off the lobby.&nbsp;
The ground floor is all open plan, with a comfortable sofa (can convert to a sofabed), 2 armchairs, a dining table, and kitchen with all the equipment you could need for self-catering. There's also a WC on this level. At the front is a huge balcony to relax on (and people-watch!)&nbsp;
Upstairs are the two lovely bedrooms, both with balconies: one is a king with ensuite shower / WC, and the other is a super-king (2 singles fixed together which can be made up as single beds) with ensuite bathroom / WC.&nbsp; Both have built-in wardrobes.&nbsp;The apartment has an exterior (non-allocated) chained parking space next to the building, and a secure ski & boot locker at ground level. Please note that the fireplace is not useable. The location is superb – right in the town centre, opposite Morzine church, next to the Dranse river and just a stone’s throw from the supermarket, boulangerie, bars and restaurants. In the summer it's a 5-minute walk to the superb outdoor swimming pool complex, which is covered in the Multipass system (see "Summer"). It’s 5 minutes walk up the vibrant Rue du Bourg to Pleney, but you can also hop on the “D” bus which runs in a loop round the town centre and stops by the church.&nbsp;
Please note there's only one parking space for this apartment. Any additional cars usually have to be parked 5 minutes' walk away in the Carrefour car park, or in the underground car park close by, at car owners' expense.&nbsp;&nbsp;

You need to be able to store them in your vehicle overnight, or at the shop where you hire them.
