The Winter Games were designed as a counterbalance to the Commonwealth Games, which focuses on summer sports, to accompany the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympic Games.
[1] The 1958 Commonwealth Winter Games[2] were held in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
[1] The 1962 Games were also held in St. Moritz, complementing the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia,[4] and the 1966 event was held in St. Moritz as well,[5] following which the idea was discontinued.
The proposed venue was Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir,[6] where the Indian National Winter Games had previously been held,[7] but the idea did not come to fruition.
