Milan Cortina: Olympic Games at the Heart of the Alps
Hosted between Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, these Winter Olympic Games highlighted the European Alps as an exceptional destination for mountain sports.
The competition venues provided a spectacular setting, where technical mastery met the raw beauty of alpine landscapes.
Milan–Cortina continues a strong Olympic tradition while embracing a contemporary vision of the Games: sustainability, long-term legacy, and environmental responsibility.
These commitments resonate particularly within alpine regions, where the mountains inspire both humility and responsibility.
From Milan Cortina to the 2030 Winter Olympic Games in France
The Closing Ceremony marked a highly symbolic moment: the official handover to the 2030 Winter Olympic Games, which will be held in the French Alps.
In Albertville, host city of the 1992 Winter Games, the transfer of the Olympic flag to France officially launched the momentum of French Alps 2030, opening a new chapter in the Olympic history of Savoie.
This return of the Winter Games to a historic mountain territory represents a significant milestone for the French Alps, reinforcing a legacy built on heritage, transmission, and forward-looking ambition.
This dynamic is supported by emblematic figures of French sport, such as Olympic champion Edgar Grospiron, now actively involved in shaping the vision for the 2030 Games. His journey illustrates the continuity between sporting heritage and the future of alpine excellence.
In Courchevel, this Olympic horizon feels both natural and inspiring. The French Alps are preparing once again to welcome the world, showcasing their expertise in hospitality, infrastructure, and mountain culture.
As the Milan–Cortina chapter closes, Courchevel already looks ahead to 2030 —
proud to see the French Alps firmly anchored in Olympic history and confidently moving toward its next great milestone.
