Get to Know: The Design and Symbolism 

Created by French artist Vincent Thiebaut, Alpy’s design was inspired by the shape of Grande Motte, a mountain that is part of the Massif de la Vanoise in Tignes, France. The Paralympic mascot is using a mono-ski to highlight its athleticism. The colours white, green and blue were used in Alpy’s design to symbolise purity, hope and nature.
