St. Moritz hosted the Winter Olympics previously in 1928. All five venues from those games were reused for the 1948 Winter Olympics. St. Moritz hosted the FIBT World Championships in 1931 (four-man), 1937 (four-man), 1938 (two-man), 1939 (two-man), and 1947. Switzerland itself hosted the Ice Hockey World Championships twice in between the 1928 and 1948 Games, doing so in 1935 and 1939 though neither took place in St. Moritz. As an alpine skiing venue, St. Moritz hosted the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 1934.
