Feasibility study - Innsbruck 2026 Olympics

At the end of the year, the state of Tyrol, the city of Innsbruck and the Austrian Olympic Committee (ÖOC) commissioned a feasibility study as the basis for a decision on a possible bid by Austria and Innsbruck/Tyrol for the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. This survey, carried out by the bidding consortium PROPROJEKT and AS+P with the regional project partners Management Center Innsbruck (MCI) and Solid - Event, Management und Consulting GmbH, is a comprehensive basis for further decisions. In particular, the core areas of sports infrastructure and competition venues, accommodation, transport and traffic, environment and sustainability as well as the financial framework conditions were analyzed.

The study outlines an overall concept for a possible Innsbruck-Tyrol bid with important principles and recommendations. It is neither for nor against Innsbruck-Tyrol's bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but attests to its technical and organizational feasibility under certain conditions.

The following seven principles were pursued in the feasibility study:
