Switzerland plans to bid for the 2030 or 2034 Winter Olympic Games. On Friday, the Swiss Olympic Association announced the country would be bidding for the 2030 or 2034 Winter Games. If Switzerland manages to stick to the budget, it will be the cheapest Winter Olympics ever — after adjusting for inflation, according to Bloomberg. AdvertisementIn fact, Swiss citizens have already rejected at least three previous bids for the Winter Olympics in recent years, per Bloomberg. The last edition of the Winter Olympics in Beijing had an official price tag of $3.9 billion — busting its initial $1.6 billion budget.

REUTERS/Denis Balibouse/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsGENEVA, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Switzerland on Friday announced it would bid for either the 2030 or 2034 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, which would be the third time the Alpine country has hosted the event. Japan's northern city of Sapporo last month dropped its bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics and said it would consider hosting the Games in 2034 or in subsequent years. According to studies by the IOC's future host commission for Winter Games, only 10 nations would be able to host the snow sports of the Olympic Winter and Paralympic Games by 2040. Switzerland - which hosted the Winter Olympic Games in St. Moritz in 1928 and 1948 - has struggled in recent years to get its population behind its Olympic bids.
