The 2030 Winter Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2030), officially known as the XXVI Olympic Winter Games (French: XXVIes Jeux Olympiques d'hiver) and branded as French Alps 2030 (French: Alpes Françaises 2030), is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 1 to 17 February 2030 in France. The French Alps bid was elected at the 142nd IOC Session in Paris on 24 July 2024, two days before the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics.[3]

This will be the first time in history that the Olympics will be officially hosted by two regions, with Nice as the host of ice sports. Additional venues will be shared by the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Hautes-Alpes in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and the departments of Haute-Savoie and Savoie in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. These games will be the second consecutive Winter Olympic Games to be hosted in the European Alps, following the 2026 Winter Olympics, hosted by Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.[4]
