The French Alps are a set of valleys, not one ski area. Les 3 Vallées, Tignes–Val d'Isère, Paradiski, and the Briançonnais do not share a lift pass. The 2030 Winter Games use five clusters, and only some of the famous resorts are competition venues.
What is already decided
The Olympic Winter Games run from 1 to 17 February 2030. The Paralympics run from 1 to 10 March 2030. Ice hockey, curling, figure skating, and short track are in Lyon. Long-track speed skating is at Thialf in Heerenveen, in the Netherlands. Alpine speed events are at Courchevel. Alpine technical events are at Val d'Isère. Biathlon is at Le Grand-Bornand. Cross-country is at La Clusaz. Sliding sports are at La Plagne. Freestyle and snowboard are split between Serre-Chevalier and Montgenèvre.
What is not decided
Ticket sales are not open. The organising committee's FAQ says they open at the end of 2028, and it publishes no prices. Opening and closing ceremony venues have not been announced. The same FAQ still says the venue map is being finalised, which is behind the September and October 2026 releases. Read the venue table with that tension in mind.
The previous Games were Milano Cortina 2026. A separate guide to Cortina d'Ampezzo is at skicortina.org.
