PlanetSKI Reveals Montgenevre to Host Freeride in the 2030 Winter Olympics
Val Thorens already hosts an edition of the Freeride World Tour and the full event has taken place previously in Tignes and Chamonix.
There was a women’s event in La Clussaz, plus FWT Qualifiers in French resorts, including Les Arcs.
FWT has roots and heritage in France.
The Organising Committee of France 2030 had already specified that all new sports would need to be in the southern sector.
Some wanted to see it in the legendary freeride resort of La Grave – in the southern sector.
The final choice was released to PlanetSKI in an interview we have just had with the CEO of the FIS Freeride World Tour, Nicolas Hale-Woods.

Montgenevre is also holding Ski Mountaineering and some of the Freesyle events, but the exact ones have not been unveiled.
The other Freestyle events will take place in Sierre-Chevalier.
