France to Host 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics

French Alps Selected as Host City

By International Olympic Committee

The 142nd IOC Session today elected French Alps 2030 as the host of the XXVI Olympic Winter Games. The decision was made after a thorough evaluation of the candidate cities' bids, which included presentations and tours of the proposed venues.

In its evaluation, the IOC praised the French Alps' commitment to sustainability, legacy planning, and athlete experience. The bid also received strong support from the local population and government, which demonstrated the region's enthusiasm for hosting the Games.

The 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics will be the third time that France has hosted the Games, after hosting the 1924 Winter Games in Chamonix and the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville.

The IOC is confident that the French Alps will deliver an exceptional Winter Games experience for athletes and spectators alike. The Games will showcase the region's stunning natural beauty, world-class sporting facilities, and rich cultural heritage.

The 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics will be a memorable event that will leave a lasting legacy for the French Alps and the Olympic Movement.
