The re-naming of the Courchevel Villages remains as controversial as the last time they tried it when first developing the resorts – objections back then to “Lower Courchevel” lead to the approximate altitude being used (hence Courchevel 1300, 1550, 1650 & 1850).
Some signage was already updated on the ski area last Winter – we didn’t see that vandalised, but now the road signs are being changed it looks like they’ve all had the new names crossed out.
For the record the new names are:
Courchevel 1850 – Courchevel.
Courchevel 1650 – Courchevel Moriond.
Courchevel 1550 – Courchevel Village. Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz) – Courchevel Le Praz.
La Tania remains La Tania by the way…. They wouldn’t dare….
