Preparations for the 2030 Winter Olympics are already underway, with organizers in the French Alps sharing new details about plans for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The French Alps 2030 Organizing Committee presented its long-term vision ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, highlighting sustainability, innovation and climate change adaptation as key priorities.
Committee chairman and former Olympic champion Edgar Grospiron said the aim is to “preserve the pioneering spirit that has always been the driving force behind the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in France.”
“Our mountains must reinvent themselves to meet the challenges of our time,” he said.
“To support, anticipate and respond to transitions, climate change and sports evolution, but also to other ambitions of new generations.”
Organizers said the event will be spread across multiple Alpine regions, following a model similar to the Milan Games.
The committee emphasized creating an experience that connects global audiences with the natural landscape while protecting local communities.
“We will create the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Games, rooted in France and in the French Alps, open to the world, open to the mountains, respectful of our amazing territories, expanding our vision, innovative and driven to push boundaries, explore new sensations and create new horizons,” said Grospiron.
