The 2030 Olympic Games emblems were unveiled yesterday in Briançon, right in the heart of our region.
It was here, in our region, that everything came together. On Thursday, June 18, 2026, the Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games unveiled the official emblems for Alpes 2030 during a public ceremony at the Parc des Sports in Briançon, a town in the Serre Chevalier Briançon region and the gateway to the ski area.
It was a highlight of the event, attended by Minister of Sports Marina Ferrari, the presidents of the Sud and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, Briançon Mayor Arnaud Murgia, and numerous Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
What do the new Alpes 2030 emblems look like?
Two distinct yet complementary logos were unveiled—a first in the history of the Winter Games:
• The Olympic emblem takes the form of converging lines forming a slender triangle, a direct evocation of an Alpine peak. Its upward trajectory symbolizes pushing one’s limits and athletic excellence; its silhouette can also be interpreted as a beam of light guiding the way toward the future.
• The Paralympic emblemuses this same graphic motif in the form of an open door, echoing and mirroring the Olympic symbol.
The creative concept is based on three key ideas: rays of light that reveal the terrain’s contours, mountain peaks that embody the setting for the Games (alpine sports, pushing one’s limits, wonder), and a point of convergence that symbolizes the coming together of athletes, disciplines, and regions. The color palette, ranging from sky blue to the pink of a sunset, evokes the sky, the snow, and the unique light of our mountains—what the organizers call “alpenglow.” A new tagline accompanies these emblems: “Alpes 2030,” which replaces the name “French Alps 2030” used until now.
“For the Alpes 2030 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, the mountains are much more than just a backdrop,” said Edgar Grospiron, president of the COJOP and Olympic moguls champion at Albertville 1992—a discipline that will, in fact, be contested right here in Serre Chevalier.
For the entire valley, this unveiling in Briançon is a powerful symbol: with less than four years to go before the Games begin, it is the Serre Chevalier Briançon region that has given “Alpes 2030” its first public face.
Serre Chevalier Briançon and Montgenèvre: The Briançonnais Region at the Heart of the 2030 Winter Olympics
The Briançonnais region, which includes our Serre Chevalier Briançon area as well as Montgenèvre, is one of the four geographic hubs for the 2030 Winter Olympics, alongside Haute-Savoie, Savoie, and Lyon.
Montgenèvre will also host several additional events: slopestyle, parallel giant slalom, ski cross, and halfpipe.
In total, one-third of the Games’ medals will be awarded in the Hautes-Alpes—a source of pride for the entire valley!
3 Olympic Events in Serre Chevalier
The events will take place in La Salle les Alpes, in the heart of the Serre Chevalier ski area. Three spectacular disciplines, hugely popular with the general public, that embody the revival of winter sports:
A closer look at the event schedule 👀 🤩
🎿 Mogul skiing: a fast-paced descent down a course dotted with moguls, punctuated by two acrobatic jumps. This discipline requires power, technique, and creativity. Serre Chevalier, with its ideal slopes and natural snow cover, offers the perfect playground for this event.
🎿 Aerial Skiing: Athletes launch off a jump and perform spectacular aerial maneuvers—twists, flips, and spins—before landing on a steep slope. A guaranteed visual spectacle for spectators.
🎿 Big Air, alsoknown as the “grand saut” (in French 😉), is one of the six disciplines of freestyle skiing. Starting from a semi-cylindrical structure carved into the snow , riders string together acrobatic tricks and spectacular rotations, gaining momentum off each of the two walls.
The Olympic village in Briançon
Athletes taking part in events in the Briançon area will be accommodated in the Olympic Village in Briançon, France's highest town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
All athletes will be accommodated within 30 minutes of their competition venue, in keeping with the Games' commitment to sobriety.
A historic and responsible Olympic Games
The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games return to France for the 4th time in history, after Chamonix 1924, Grenoble 1968 and Albertville 1992. It is also the first time that two major regions - Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur - have come together for a joint project of this scale.
The Games have been designed according to a new model: 93% of the venues are already existing, thus avoiding unnecessary construction. Three sites from the Albertville 1992 Olympics are being reused (La Plagne, Courchevel, Méribel). The COJOP, chaired by Edgar Grospiron - Albertville's Olympic mogul skiing champion - is overseeing the organization in a sober and environmentally-friendly manner.
