The 2030 Winter Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2030), officially known as the XXVI Olympic Winter Games[1] (French: XXVIes Jeux Olympiques d'hiver) and branded as Alpes 2030, is an upcoming international winter multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 1 to 17 February 2030 in the French Alps.

As part of the new Olympic bid process, the Future Host Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) nominated the French Alps as its preferred candidate on 29 November 2023. The French Alps' bid was approved during the 142nd IOC Session in Paris, France on 24 July 2024.

The events will take place in two French regions, mainly in the Metropolis of Lyon and in the departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, as well as in the Hautes-Alpes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Long track speed skating is scheduled to be held in the Netherlands, at Thialf. These will be the fourth Winter Olympics, and the seventh Olympics overall, to be hosted by France.

Bidding process

[edit]
Further information: Bids for the 2030 Winter Olympics

Under the new bidding process established under Olympic Agenda 2020, the IOC's Future Host Commission (FHC) for the Winter Olympic Games engages in ongoing, non-committal "continuous dialogue" with parties that are interested in hosting a future edition. The Commission then recommends preferred candidates to be invited to "targeted dialogue" with the IOC Executive Board to formalize their bid, after which it is presented to the IOC's delegates for final approval.[2][3][4]

During the 135th IOC Session in January 2020, FHC chair Octavian Morariu identified that Barcelona—Zaragoza, Salt Lake City (which hosted in 2002, but was understood to be preferring 2034 so that the United States would not host the Summer and Winter Olympics consecutively), and Sapporo (which hosted in 1972) had entered into continuous dialogue regarding hosting a future Winter Olympics in 2030 or later.[5] Spain dropped out in 2022 amid disputes between the autonomous Catalonian and Aragonian governments.[6] In March 2023, Switzerland revealed that it had entered into continuous dialogue.[7] In July 2023, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee announced its intent to enter into continuous dialogue with the FHC for a bid focusing on the French Alps.[8] Sweden also proposed a Stockholm–Åre bid, after the cities lost to the Milan–Cortina bid for 2026.[9]

On 29 November 2023, per the recommendation of the Future Host Commission, the IOC Executive Board invited the French National Olympic and Sports Committee to targeted dialogue, proposing the French Alps as preferred host of the 2030 Winter Olympics.[10] Switzerland would enter into "privileged dialogue" for potentially hosting in 2038.[11] The French Alps were conditionally ratified as hosts during the 142nd IOC Session on 24 July 2024 in Paris, France;[12][13] as per the new bid process, the vote was in the form of a referendum to the 95 IOC delegates.[12][14][15]

The decision to award the Games was made under the condition that financial guarantees from the French government and local authorities be secured by October 2024; usually, these are secured as part of the bid process, but this was hindered by the then-ongoing French political crisis following the 2024 French legislative election.[16] In October 2024, prime minister Michel Barnier sent a letter to IOC president Thomas Bach to confirm the French government's financial support.[16]

During the 2026 Winter Olympics closing ceremony in Verona, Italy, the French Alps were introduced as the next Winter Games host region, with the raising of the flag of France and a special performance of "La Marseillaise" in the arena.[17]

Development and preparations

[edit]

Venues

[edit]

The venues of the Games will be split between clusters in Lyon, Briançon, Haute-Savoie, and Savoie. Five Olympic villages are slated to be constructed for the Games, with one each in Lyon, Briançon, and Haute-Savoie, and two in Savoie.

A venue for the ceremonies has not yet been decided, but organising committee head Edgar Grospiron suggested in an interview with Le Monde that the ceremonies may be held in the Metropolis of Lyon; the organising committee's headquarters are based at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu.[18][19][20] The President of the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Renaud Muselier, had also shared the idea of hosting the closing ceremony at a part of the Lac de Serre-Ponçon, but this has not been looked into by the organising committee.[21]

At that time, the only sport that had not yet have a confirmed venue is long-track speed skating; in April 2025, Grospiron told Le Figaro that it would be too expensive to build a new venue for speed skating, and explained that the organising committee was aiming to "reinvent the Games".[22] The committee has explored various options, including renovating existing facilities in Albertville or Grenoble, or hosting the event outside of the country at either Oval Lingotto in Turin, Italy (which previously hosted long-track speed skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and is the closest existing venue outside of the host regions),[23][24] or Thialf in Heerenveen, Netherlands.[25][24][26] On the 11th of May 2026, the organising committee decided to pursue exclusive talks with Heerenveen about hosting the speed skating events.[27]

In March 2026, it was reported that president of the regional council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Renaud Muselier had threatened to withdraw Nice, have their events held in Lyon instead if newly elected mayor of Nice, Éric Ciotti does not acept to the original plans. Renaud had considered Parc Olympique Lyonnais to host the opening and closing ceremonies, the neighbouring LDLC Arena hosting ice hockey, and Eurexpo hosting the rest of the ice sports.[28] On 1 April, the recently reelected mayor of Lyon, Grégory Doucet, would announce that his city was ready to host ice sports.[29] One day later, the president of the regional council of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Fabrice Pannekoucke, denounced Grégory's "cuckoo approach".[30]

On 28 April 2026, the organising committee announced that after exploring the possibility of having ice hockey held on temporary rinks at Allianz Riviera (as doing such would require its tennant, OGC Nice, to vacate for up to nine months), as well as Stade Charles-Ehrmann and Stade Marcel-Volot [fr], and determining them to be too costly or logistically challenging to implement, they would move the matches to existing venues outside of Nice.[31] A bidding phase was launched two days later; Lyon and Paris expressed interest prior, while Albertville, Gap, Grenoble and Marseille were invited to bid.[32][33] During a meeting in May 2026, the IOC warned the organisers that they would step in and remove ice hockey from Nice if the men's and women's events were to be geographically dispersed, in the consideration of minimising travel and carbon emissions.[34] This reprimand occurred after the International Ice Hockey Federation complained about the distance between venues.[35]

On 29 May 2026, the organising committee announced that Lyon was now "the best solution" to host ice events after Nice mayor Eric Ciotti rejecting the conversion of Allianz Riviera for ice hockey, and pressure from the IOC to adopt a more compact venue cluster.[36][37][38] Meanwhile in June 2026, a tentative Lyon venue plan was announced, with LDLC Arena and Eurexpo listed for ice hockey, Halle Tony Garnier for figure skating and short-track speed skating, and Palais des Sports de Gerland for curling. The final venue plan will be announced later in 2026.[39] On 22 June 2026, the IOC Executive Board approved the first set of changes to the venue masterplan. The board also approved hosting long-track speed skating at Thialf. The final venue masterplan will be announced once the sports programme is finalised and technical work is completed by the organising committee.[40]

Sports

[edit]

At the 142nd IOC Session in July 2024, the IOC's delegates ratified the core Winter Olympic programme of biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, luge, skating, and skiing. The disciplines in each sport will be determined in June 2026.[42]

Various sanctioning bodies have announced plans to pursue bids for sports to be added to the 2030 Winter Olympics:

  • The UCI is pursuing the addition of cyclo-cross, while World Athletics is pursuing the revival of cross country running (which was previously contested as a Summer Olympic event) for the first time since 1924.[45][46][47] In June 2025, the Departmental Council of Haute-Saône suggested that La Planche des Belles Filles (which has been used as part of the Tour de France route since 2012) would be used as the site for cyclo-cross if approved. Organising committee president Michel Barnier has supported the inclusion of cyclo-cross, while World Athletics president Sebastian Coe stated that cross-country running would provide new opportunities for African athletes to win a Winter Olympic medal for the first time. The Winter Olympic Federations (WOF) voiced opposition to the two sports, arguing that they did not constitute "snow and ice sports" as required by the Olympic Charter, and that their inclusion could "dilute" the heritage and identity of the Winter Olympics; both sports are typically held in the autumn and winter months and have been contested in winter conditions.[48][49][50][51]
  • In March 2026, Wallace Casper, program director for the Big Sky Ski Education Foundation in Utah, suggested that freeriding could become a sport at the Winter Olympics due to its growing popularity. The founder of the Freeride World Tour, Nicolas Hale-Woods, said in 2025 that the IOC had previously considered the inclusion of freeriding due to its appeal "to a young audience", in vain to the inclusion of urban sports in the Summer Olympic Games. Chamonix, Tignes and Val Thorens have hosted events of the Freeride World Tour.[55][56]

In a February 2025 interview, organising committee head Edgar Grospiron mentioned cyclo-cross, cross-country running, speed skiing, telemark skiing and ice cross as potential new sports, as well as a potential return of ski mountaineering, which was planned to debut as an optional sport in 2026.[57][58] On 7 May 2026, the IOC Executive Board ruled out the possibility of including sports that are not contested on snow or ice in the programme, but it would consider reviewing the prospect after the Games.[59]

On 9 June 2026, ski mountaineering was officially proposed for the Games as an optional sport, citing its successful debut during the 2026 Winter Olympics; the event would be held in Briançon, and it was proposed that individual events be added in addition to the sprint and mixed relay events held in 2026.[60]

Marketing

[edit]

Emblem

[edit]

The emblem of the Games was unveiled on 18 June 2026 during an event at Briançon.[61] The emblem is a stylized mountain peak with a blue, purple, and red gradient, formed by rays of light; it is stated to represent the "promise of clarity, warmth and renewal" and the "convergence" of nations at its summit. The Paralympic emblem uses a similar design, but with the mountain formed in negative space by lights shining behind it. Alongside the emblem, the branding of the Games was also shortened from "French Alps 2030"/"Alpes Françaises 2030" to simply "Alpes 2030".[62] The emblems were designed by Paris based design agency Saint-Lazare.[63]

Broadcasting rights

[edit]

In France, pay television and streaming rights are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery via Eurosport,[64] with free-to-air coverage owned by France Télévisions under a sublicense agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).[65] On 16 January 2023, the IOC announced that it had renewed its European broadcast rights agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery. The agreement, covering from 2026 to 2032, includes pay television and streaming rights to the Summer, Winter, and Youth Olympics on Eurosport and Discovery+ in 49 European territories. Free-to-air rights packages were concurrently awarded to the EBU and its members to cover at least 100 hours of each Winter Olympics,[64] with EBU member France Télévisions agreeing to broadcast the Games in France.[65]

Concerns and controversies

[edit]

Impacts of climate change

[edit]

The impacts of climate change have become a central focus of the International Olympic Committee in planning the Winter Olympics. According to the IOC, the number of NOCs capable of hosting the Winter Olympics—which require access to snow competition venues with adequate temperature and snowfall—has declined to "practically just 10-12".[113] As a result of these challenges, the decision on the 2030 Winter Olympics host city was delayed until 24 July 2024 to allow the IOC more time to carefully plan the future of the Winter Olympics.[114][115]

Organisational issues

[edit]

The president of the Games' organising committee, former Olympian Edgar Grospiron, was appointed in 2025. The organising committee has been plagued with infighting, with the Games' director general, chief operating officer, communications director, and chief of the remuneration committee resigning between 2025 and 2026.[116][117] In addition, the cost of the event has been a source of controversy, especially in amidst the sharp increase in the amount of French public debt.[118] The Games' budget is an estimated $4.04 billion USD, which saw an increase from the original plan.[119] The proposed Nice ice arena has faced criticism due to rising costs and budgetary concerns in the lead-up to the 2026 Nice municipal election; it is slated to cost nearly €138 million.[120]
