Milano Cortina refers to the Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo area in northern Italy, designated as the host for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The event will span venues around Milan in Lombardy and Cortina d’Ampezzo in Veneto, with additional competition sites in nearby mountain clusters. The Games are scheduled for February 2026 and will utilize a mix of existing facilities and temporary or renovated venues across several towns in the region. Key points
- Primary hubs: Milan (Lombardy) and Cortina d’Ampezzo (Dolomites, Veneto), with events spread across multiple mountain areas.
- Geographic scope: The competition footprint covers a large portion of northern Italy, making it the most geographically dispersed Winter Games to date.
- Venues and terrain: Alpine skiing, cross-country, biathlon, Nordic combined, skating, sliding events, and snowboarding are distributed among venues like Livigno, Bormio/Stelvio, Cortina, and Milan-area facilities, among others.
- Logistics: Plans emphasize existing infrastructure and targeted renovations to create a multi-cluster Games with transportation links designed to connect Milan, Cortina, and the surrounding venues.
