The Paris 2024 Olympics are over! Are we starting again in 2030?

Now that the euphoria is over, the French are ready to feel the thrills again with the recent confirmation that the 2030 Winter Olympics will be held in the heart of the French Alps.

Although the French Alps have been approached to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, this is not the first time that Courchevel has witnessed the exploits of the world's greatest sportsmen and women. 

Indeed, no less than 38 years before this next edition, in 1992, the Winter Games were held. The now famous Praz ski jumps were built for the occasion.

Situated at an altitude of almost 1550 metres, these Olympic ski jumps are the ideal playground for experienced ski jumpers to take on new challenges. 

As part of your holiday in Courchevel, you benefit from privileged access to Le Praz and its ski jumps. If you simply want to see this historic landmark, or try your hand at it as part of a sporting day out, make it part of your holiday!

When talking about the 2030 Winter Games, it's inevitable to mention the Eclipse piste. With a vertical drop of no less than 940 metres, the 3.2-kilometre run is sure to please even the most demanding skiers. 

Specially designed to thrill fans of the discipline and offer a real test for the most daring skiers, this run won't disappoint.

The Eclipse black run has seen the light of day in 2023 for the world championships, after more than a year's work. At the next Olympic Games in the French Alps, it will host the men's alpine skiing, giant slalom, slalom and super combined events.

Does this prospect inspire you and make you want to surpass yourself? Take advantage of your stay to perfect your technique with our esf instructors. In private lessons or group classes, you'll have the opportunity to improve your performance and movement, in search of new sensations!
