Latest status and context

  • The International Olympic Committee (IOC) formally elected the French Alps as host at its session in Paris in July 2024.
  • This will be the fourth time France hosts the Winter Olympics, after Chamonix 1924, Grenoble 1968, and Albertville 1992.
  • The 2034 Winter Olympics are planned for Salt Lake City, Utah, but that is a separate edition from the 2030 French Alps Games.

TL;DR

The 2030 Winter Olympics will not be in a single “city” like in the past, but spread across the French Alps , with snow events in Savoie and Haute- Savoie and most ice events centered in Nice on the Mediterranean coast.
