The 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics are four years away, but preparations have already begun in the French Alps, where the games will be hosted.
The French Alps 2030 organizing committee shared its vision and ongoing plans for the next winter games before the start of the 2026 Milan Olympics.

Edgar Grospiron, committee president and former Olympic skiing champion, said their goal is to “preserve the pioneering spirit that has always driven 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 sporting evolution, but also to other aspirations of new generations.”

“We will create 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Games rooted in France and in the French Alps, open to the world, open to the mountains, respecting our amazing territories, magnifying our sights, innovative and driven to push boundaries, explore new sensations and create new horizons,” Grospiron said.
