Salt Lake City is thrilled to host the 2034 Winter Games. As previous hosts of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, Salt Lake is ready to open the door once again to the international sports stage. The 2034 Winter Games will be one of the most sustainable ever, with no new permanent venues to be constructed. The continued use and maintenance of venues from 2002 has enriches the surrounding areas and communities.  

Known for The Greatest Snow on Earth, Salt Lake is home to dozens of Olympic Athletes and several US teams: US Ski & Snowboard, US Speedskating, US Biathlon and USA Climbing. Salt Lake also forms a unique stance as all of the proposed venues are within 1 hour of the Olympic Village and Salt Lake International Airport.

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
