Jusqu'à plus ample informé, l'appellation La Salles les Alpes (trois espaces séparatrices) est ainsi la seule qui soit officiellement correcte, alors qu'elle devrait être, en théorie, La Salle-les-Alpes (une espace et deux traits d'union).
(*) la graphie La Salle les Alpes n'est pas une erreur de Wikipédia.
Pour une raison qui reste non connue, le nom de cette commune ne suit pas la règle habituelle retenue dans le Code officiel géographique de l'INSEE et est très officiellement typographié sans traits d'union, à la différence de milliers d'autres communes.
