The small ski resort in the Alpes-Maritimes is about to be renamed Gr\u00e9oli\u00e8res 1400, a decision that has not gone down well with the locals. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It's now official: Gr\u00e9oli\u00e8res-les-Neiges is to be renamed Gr\u00e9oli\u00e8res 1400, a decision taken by the commune's mayor, who is aware of the lack of snow his resort could face in a few years' time as a result of climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \"If we keep the name and there's no more snow, we'll look thin. We need to show that we want to transform the ski resort into a resort that is open all year round, that doesn't just rely on the snow product\".<\/em>explained Marc Malfatto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n READ MORE: <\/strong>What are the best ski resorts near Nice?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n While the more nostalgic will still be able to see the wording \"les Neiges\" in small print, from now on Gr\u00e9oli\u00e8res 1400 will be displayed everywhere. A decision that is far from shared by all the residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Contacted by telephone, a shopkeeper told us that a petition could be launched. According to him, the decision was taken without consultation, at the sole whim of the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Gr\u00e9olois for three generations, this restaurateur believes that the name change sends out the wrong signal for tourism in the resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This news was originally due to be announced in the spring as part of a major communications campaign, but ended up being made official more quickly following leaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n READ MORE:<\/strong> In Beuil, this mountain restaurant offers a \"generous\" menu for less than 32 euros<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nGr\u00e9oli\u00e8res 1400 relies on four-season tourism <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
