I'm inlove with your graphics. I do wish I had more time for a Zurich bid given all the fascinating things I have already learnt about Zurich but could never compete with your graphics.

In your venue concept above you do what many bid cities fail to do i.e. Communicate their venue or overall masterplan in a simple effective manner.

What I would like to see if travel time between clusters and modes of transport e.g. rail a black line connecting the two clusters, a red line adjacent to it for buses, while connections to some clusters would only have a bus or rail or tram connection.

Alternatively simply differentiate between transport links based on whether its existing or new/planned.

right now, all railways are existing (except the Lyon/Turin connexion which is still under construction)

just some improvements are needed for the Games but the main thing is already there

travel time and more informations will come soon (bus, tram, regional express train, lake's shuttle...)

...but

by train in 2010

Geneva/Lausanne-35 mn

Geneva/Aigle-1h10 mn

Paris/Geneva-3h05 mn

Welcome to the GENEVA 2022 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC MASTER PLAN...part 2

Today...Vallée de JOUX CLUSTER (Cross-country, Biathlon, Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined)

The Vallée de Joux is a valley of the Jura Mountains in the swiss Canton of Vaud located at 20 miles (50 km) North from Geneva.

With a superb background of snowy land, forests, peaks and lakes, the Jura Mountain is a terrific country to practice Nordic ski.

The Vallée de Joux is with Neuchâtel, the birthplace of the Swiss horology and still home of the most famous swiss watch factories, like Jaeger Le Coultre, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Claude Meylan, Patek Philippe & Co. and Vacheron Constantin ("the watch Valley").

Welcome, Bienvenue...
