The existing sports infrastructure in Slovenia already enables a smooth organisation of the winter universiade. To follow the main goal of the universiades - the development of the academic culture - the university city of Maribor, where international academic community has the perfect conditions to achieve this goal, is proposed.
Maribor has proved itself with top quality expert organisation teams and the required sports infrastructure. In addition to that, the construction and the reconstruction of some sports facilites is already in progress. |
| Although Pohorje already has proper ski courses for all the disciplines in the Alpine Skiing, the construction of new slopes, which will be used for downhill and super-G races, is planned. The same is with tracks for Cross Country and Biathlon, which will be constructed in the foot of the Ski Centre Pohorje. A new Ski Jumping Centre with a normal and a large hill, a new half-pipe for snowboarding and another Ice Hall will be built in Maribor by 2010. |

| A welcomed novelty at the universiade will definitely be the night events in alpine skiing, cross country and snowboarding. |

We would like to stress that 90% of all the slopes on the Pohorje are already equipped with 70 artificial snow guns with a capacity of 3,000 m3 of snow per hour. Until 2011, all the slopes will be 100% covered with more than 100 snow guns. |

Pohorje, where most of the competitions will take place, lies at the foot of the Maribor. It is located only 3 km from the city centre, and can be easily reached. Travel time by shuttle bus is approximately 5 minutes. |
