The French alps This Tuesday they presented their candidacy to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, 38 years after the last in French territory, held in Albertville.
Two regionsAuvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azurhave united their projects to gain strength for that event, where they will be the main rivals Switzerland and Sweden.
Among the weak points of the French candidacy is the proximity of Summer Games in Parisnext year, and France has had winter three times, Chamonix in 1924, Grenoble in 1968 and Albertville in 1992.
Furthermore, the 2026 Games will also take place in the Alps, although on the Italian side, in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Those responsible for the candidacy insist that it will not have a large investment, in accordance with the current request of International Olympic Committee (IOC) and as a way to counter the opposition it created among some groups in the region.
On the 21st, the French Alps candidacy will defend its options in Lausanne, before the preliminary selection of applicants in December and the allocation of headquarters throughout 2024.
