Klagenfurt 2006 (Austro-Bavarian: Klognfuat 2006; Slovene: Celovec 2006) was an unsuccessful multi-national bid submitted by Klagenfurt, Austria and the Austrian Olympic Committee to host the 2006 Winter Olympics. It was one of six candidates, but failed to be short-listed.
As the failed bid proposed by Tarvisio for the 2002 Winter Olympics,this bid also planned to use venues placed in Italy and Slovenia. One of the principal motivations was to "demonstrate the unity, harmony, and friendship of a region which has existed and developed as such over centuries, despite changing conditions, separation by political borders and language barriers". The concept was considered to be interesting, but could have resulted in many potential organisational difficulties.[1]
