The proposed venues concept comprised:[1][2] - Kiry - biathlon - Siwa Polana - cross-country skiing - Witów - luge, bobsleigh and skeleton The proposed sports concept was considered as good with most of the venues in the vicinity of Zakopane, close to the main Olympic village.

Other issues rated favorably were: sufficient experience of Poland's security forces, and winter sports traditions resulted in a good legacy and post-use of the planned venues.

The construction of certain facilities, particularly the skiing venues, to be located totally or partially in the Tatra National Park, could have been a big challenge due to its special international ecological status.

The snowmaking facilities, cable car, lift and spectator capacities were considered insufficient and access to the stadium was non-existent.

There were objections among non-governmental organisations, the scientific and intellectuals community to the proposed venues placed in the Biosphere Reserve.
