Interestingly, both were the only candidates for those Games

French Alps is chosen for the 2030 Winter Olympics, 2034 goes to Salt Lake City

"Both cities were the only candidates for each Games and comes as the IOC has struggled to find cities and countries willing to shoulder the expensive infrastructure improvements, high security costs and venue construction required by the IOC. Climate change has played a role too — especially for the Winter Games — by shrinking the number of realistic hosts."
