French Alps 2030 Winter Olympics
- The 2030 Winter Olympics are scheduled 1 to 17 February 2030 in the French Alps (Lyon metropolis, Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Hautes-Alpes), the first Games officially hosted by a region rather than a city; France's fourth Winter and seventh overall Games[1]
- Speed skating is planned in Heerenveen, Netherlands[1]
- The IOC Executive Board invited the French Alps into Targeted Dialogue for 2030 (with Salt Lake City-Utah for 2034), after the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai approved a possible double allocation[3]
- On 24 July 2024 the 142nd IOC Session in Paris conditionally confirmed the French Alps, which won 84 of 88 votes, subject to financial guarantees signed by the prime minister by Oct. 1 and ratified by parliament by March 1, 2025[1][2]
- Venue clusters are Lyon, Briancon, Haute-Savoie and Savoie, with five Olympic villages; in 2026 ice hockey moved away from Nice as too costly, with a tentative Lyon plan (LDLC Arena, Eurexpo, Halle Tony Garnier) in June 2026[1]
- France previously hosted Winter Games in Chamonix (1924), Grenoble (1968) and Albertville (1992)[2]

The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
