Winter sports are firmly established in Switzerland. Whether the Lauberhorn Downhill, Spengler
Cup or the Engadin Ski Marathon – winter sports events have a long tradition. The organisation of
Sports Venues in the winter sports events is carried out by experts with extensive experience.
Heart of Switzerland. Short Distances
Thanks to the existing first-class infrastructure, all the venues are easily accessible by personal
or public transport. Switzerland’s relatively small size allows the Universiade to be an event with
short travelling times.
