Winter Games 2030
In 2030, the Hautes-Alpes will be more freestyle than ever
In the French Alps, the Southern and Northern Alps have joined forces to create an unprecedented fresco for the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
At the heart of this partnership, the Hautes-Alpes take center stage: 37 events in freestyle skiing, snowboarding, freeride, and ski mountaineering will take place here, in Serre Chevalier—the largest resort in the Southern Alps—and Montgenèvre, the oldest resort in France. Briançon and its Fort des Têtes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be transformed into an Olympic Village.
Beyond the spotlight of the Games, the legacy will be immense. They will leave the Hautes-Alpes with significant advances in terms of land-use planning and accessibility. The Olympic spirit will not merely pass through here—it will take root here.
2030,
set a course for epic proportions
Serre Chevalier and Montgenèvre will host the freestyle skiing, snowboarding, freeride, and ski mountaineering events, along with Briançon at the heart of the Olympic action. Beyond the podiums, the Games represent a historic opportunity: world-class infrastructure, local expertise showcased, and a younger generation looking toward new horizons. The Hautes-Alpes will not merely host the Games—they will make them shine.
The great champions of the Alps
The champions from the Hautes-Alpes have their sights set on 2030: Cyprien Sarrazin, whose brilliance remains undimmed despite his injury, is aiming for the big event on home turf, as are World Cup winner Nils Allègre, Nils Alphand, three-time Paralympic champion Arthur Bauchet, cross-country skier Flora Dolci, and the up-and-coming new generation. A race-ready, finely tuned team that can turn this Olympic opportunity into a wealth of emotions.
A sporting legacy
In the Hautes-Alpes, the legacy of the Games is already taking shape: a boom in elite-level sports thanks to modernized competition venues, the regular hosting of international events, and increased support for local clubs as well as the interregional training center. The region’s influence is growing thanks to sports that are firmly focused on youth (freestyle skiing and snowboarding), which are among the most-watched Olympic events.
A legacy
economic
Economic benefits and a ripple effect are spreading throughout the Hautes-Alpes; the event is accelerating change, as exemplified by the Olympic Village, which has been partially converted into seasonal housing and homes for first-time buyers. This legacy is also evident in the infrastructure: advancements in road and rail networks, not to mention greenways and everyday transportation options, including, in the Briançonnais region, a high-level-of-service bus.
