The Snow Stadium (Lo Stadio della neve) was constructed 2 km (a little more than 1 mile) from Cotrina. It hosted all of the cross-country events. The stands could seat 6,000 people. The grandstands faced south so that television cameras could be placed there and would not receive direct sunlight during dawn and evening races. Due to space constraints the cross-country course came into conflict with the bobsleigh run. A bridge had to be constructed over a portion of the run so that the two events would not interfere with each other
