OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES 2030 – THE OLYMPIC DREAM DRAWS CLOSER !
The French Alps candidate, has been selected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to enter into ‘‘targeted dialogue’’ for the organizing of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2030.
The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, covering the heart of the French Alps, has helped create some of the finest moments in the history of winter sports, having already hosted three editions of the Winter Olympics, including the very first one, in Chamonix in 1924, then those in Grenoble in 1968 and Albertville in 1992.
A new chapter in this history begins this December 2023 – the French Alps, sole candidate invited to enter into targeted dialogue with the IOC with a view to organizing the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2030, is in fact the only candidate put through to the IOC’s final selection, before the official attribution of the Olympic Winter Games is announced in summer 2024.
So, the Olympic dream is within our grasp, bringing together all those who love our mountains and all the energy of our regional partners, committed to organizing the most environmentally-friendly winter games, proving responsible and sustainable both in ecological and economic terms.
Of note: 95% of the sites planned for use in the Olympic Winter Games 2030 already exist. Many date back to the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics. This has proved a major asset for the candidacy of the French Alps, aiming to organize games that set the way for the future, demonstrating how winter sports in the mountains can become increasingly sustainable.
