About Winter Olympics 2030 (French Alps)
The 2030 Winter Olympics take place in the French Alps from February 1 to 17, 2030 — France's fourth Winter Games, spread across alpine venues from Nice on the Mediterranean to the high peaks of Savoie. The countdown above ticks toward the opening ceremony.
The French Alps edition leans on existing legendary venues — Albertville's 1992 sites among them — as part of the IOC's sustainability push. Expect the usual winter drama: alpine skiing on world-cup slopes the athletes already know, biathlon, figure skating, and the newer crowd-pullers like big air and ski mountaineering, which debuted at Milan-Cortina 2026.
