Criteria
A firm criterion for the Winter Olympics is the availability of alpine ski slopes of certain sizes, which narrows down potential locations significantly, and often necessitates locations in less populated areas. The men's downhill requires at least 800 metres (2,600 ft) altitude difference along a course of around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) in length.
For the 2022 Winter Olympics the IOC allowed a longer distance between events, so that alpine skiing can be held in a mountain area, and sports such as ice hockey and figure skating can be held in a large city up to 160 kilometres (99 mi) away where such arenas are already available or have greater usage after the games.
A certain spectator capacity is required, which is most often 10,000 but varies according to the particular sport. Furthermore, certain VIP areas are required at every venue.

The National Olympic Committee of Tirol first suggested a bid in Sëlva for the 2014 Winter Olympics, however, this bid was ultimately withdrawn in favour of a 2022 bid. This was done so as to ensure the Winter Olympics were held after the FIS Alpine Ski Championships which the city also bid for.
Presenting the bid in x, Premier Ulrike Kindle called upon members to vote for the city as a safe pair of hands, with the experience and infrastructure for hosting such extensive international events.
