Savoie is the cluster people mean when they say "the French Alps Olympics", and it is also the cluster that was printed backwards for months. Courchevel has the speed events. Val d'Isère has the technical events. La Plagne has bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton.

Courchevel is speed, not slalom

Downhill and super-G are at Courchevel. The women's and men's team combined events are at Courchevel. Ski jumping is listed at Courchevel; the resort's existing jump is at Le Praz. Para alpine skiing and para snowboard are at Courchevel too.

Courchevel is one resort inside Les 3 Vallées. The 600 km and 169 lifts on the domain's winter 2026/27 press figures belong to seven resorts: Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Val Thorens, Orelle, and Brides-les-Bains. They are not Courchevel's private total. Valmorel is not on that list.

Val d'Isère is giant slalom and slalom

The 18 September and 12 October 2026 releases put the giant slalom and slalom at Val d'Isère, on the Face de Bellevarde and La Joseray, with a shared finish. The 300 km of the Tignes–Val d'Isère area is the linked domain, not a Val d'Isère-only figure. Tignes is on the same pass and is not a named competition venue.

La Plagne is the ice track

Bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton are at La Plagne, the sliding venue since Albertville 1992. La Plagne's alpine area is a separate holiday: 225 km and 77 lifts on the resort's own plan, or 425 km if you add the Paradiski link to Les Arcs.

Méribel and Val Thorens are bases inside Les 3 Vallées, not 2030 competition sites. Use them if you want to ski while Courchevel's race hill is closed. See where to stay in Savoie.
