Switzerland is in "privileged dialogue" with the International Olympic Committee regarding a bid to host the 2038 Winter Olympics.
The proposal outlines a "decentralised" approach, with events spread across various regions of the country.
Crans-Montana, a resort where 40 people died in a New Year's Eve bar fire, has been earmarked to host the Alpine skiing competitions.
Prosecutors recently requested pre-trial detention for one of the bar's managers following the December 31 tragedy.
Switzerland has previously hosted the Winter Olympics twice, in St Moritz in 1928 and 1948, and holds exclusive rights to pursue the 2038 bid until 2027.
