The vision for L’Estive, Morzine. Architectural illustration from the Domosno development gallery; indicative and subject to change.
There is a moment in every new development when the drawings begin to become a place. For L’Estive in Morzine, that moment has arrived: Villes & Villages has confirmed that construction is now under way.
In an update to Domosno on 13 November, the developer’s Commercial Director, Sébastien Bollon, shared a recent photograph of the site. For anyone following the project, it offers a useful first look at the work taking shape on the ground.
Here is what has changed, what you can explore today and how to take a closer look at L’Estive on Domosno.
A first look at the site
The photograph shows excavators and earthworks on the sloping site, with the surrounding chalets and wooded hillsides providing a sense of its setting. These are early stages: the image records the start of work, while the architectural illustration above shows the proposed finished development.
A chalet-style address in Morzine
L’Estive is planned at Le Pied de la Plagne, with chalet-style buildings, natural timber façades and pitched roofs. The development includes apartments and semi-detached chalets, with balconies, terraces or gardens providing private outdoor space.
The appeal is easy to picture: a morning coffee outside, room to gather after a day in the mountains and a home whose architecture feels at ease with its Alpine surroundings. Choosing the right apartment, though, begins with the individual plan: its orientation, outdoor space and the way its rooms connect.
Visit the Domosno development page for the project overview and to request current prices and availability.
What can you see on a visit?
Bollon confirms that there is currently no show apartment or sales office at L’Estive. Presentations are available by video call or at the developer’s offices in Grenoble or Annecy.
A visit to the neighbourhood can still be valuable. It is a chance to understand the setting, try the journey into central Morzine and decide how the location would suit your own holidays. Walking the route yourself is particularly useful when comparing a hillside address with a home in the village centre.
Contact Domosno before travelling if you would like a project presentation or help planning your visit. Any access to the construction site needs to be arranged in advance.
Inside the developer’s previous work
To help buyers get a feel for its work, Bollon points to Art’Mony in Châtel. The completed residence provides a reference while L’Estive is at an early stage.
The developer’s photographs of furnished Art’Mony apartments show pale timber, soft neutral colours and living spaces opening towards balconies and terraces. In one, a light wood staircase rises above the dining area; another brings together a kitchen, breakfast bar and seating beside broad windows.
About these interiors: the three photographs below show Art’Mony in Châtel. They illustrate the developer’s previous work. L’Estive’s layouts, finishes and inclusions must be checked against its own plans and contractual specification; the furniture and kitchens shown here are not an offer of what is included at L’Estive.

Start with the floor plans
The plans are the best starting point for making a shortlist. Look beyond the bedroom count: consider where you would leave boots and coats, how the living area opens outside and whether the layout would work as well for a quiet week for two as for a family holiday.
Domosno’s shared L’Estive folder contains individual apartment layouts and a site plan. Start with the site plan to locate each building, then compare the homes that interest you.

Plans are indicative. Inclusion in the folder does not confirm that a particular home is available. Ask Domosno to check the latest plan, specification, price and construction schedule for your chosen property.
