Ultra-central spacious 3 bdr flat for 7 with garage, lift

Having had coastal French summer holidays and a number of winter alpine holidays before, a summer alpine holiday was a wonderful new experience. Chalende 30 was wonderfully central, & Morzine centre is compact yet varied, which meant our kids aged 11 to 14 could enjoy a little independence. We were stunned by the views, and made much use of the free buses & lifts locally, & the summer multi pass activities. Lac Montriond was beautiful both for water sports, walking & eateries. Summer luge, ice skating, the espace aquatique & Aquariaz were all highlights. 
We didn’t have or need a car, and timely transfers from & to Geneva airport worked out perfectly- thanks Dean! The bag of groceries arranged for our arrival was a great help. 
The apartment was great- we agreed it actually looks better than the photos, and it was clean, comfortable & we had all we needed. A big factor in choosing this apartment was the generous seating in the living room which was a must have for teens who like to chill out after a day of activity. A good selection of DVDs & games was available too. 
All round excellent resort, and a great apartment in a central location.
Our only (very minor) downside was that there is quite a lot of bar noise at night to the rear of the property due to proximity to the town centre. The windows when shut cut this out very well, but as it was very hot all week & there is no air con, it was a trade off between heat or noise. 
We had a great week, and would definitely return for another summer alpine holiday, and would also love to experience Edthe Portes du Soleil in winter. 
Thanks Rachel & Dean
