A packed event calendar that will attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world.
Cortina d’Ampezzo: the Queen of the Dolomites and an Olympic city
Cortina d’Ampezzo is one of the most renowned alpine destinations at an international level, located in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites. Famous for its spectacular landscapes, ski slopes, sporting competitions and timeless elegance, it has represented for decades a benchmark destination for high-end mountain tourism.
The bond between Cortina and the Winter Olympic Games is historic and profound: in 1956, the town hosted the Winter Olympic Games, becoming the first Italian city to organise a Winter Olympics. An event that contributed decisively to the infrastructural development and international reputation of the destination.
In 2026, Cortina d’Ampezzo will return to the spotlight as one of the main venues of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games. It will host women’s alpine skiing events, curling and other major competitions, confirming its central role in world-class sport and making travel planning even more strategic during the Olympic period.
Milan
As Italy’s economic and cultural capital, Milan will be one of the central hubs of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, hosting ceremonies and events related to ice sports. The city represents a strategic access point thanks to the presence of international airports, railway stations and fast connections to the alpine venues.
During the Olympic period, Milan will also be the main logistical hub for athletes, staff and visitors. The high influx of people will make it essential to carefully plan travel arrangements, especially for those who need to reach Cortina d’Ampezzo and the other competition venues in a punctual and trouble-free way.
Alongside the excitement of the Games, a significant logistical complexity also emerges, especially when it comes to travelling between the various competition venues. In particular, access to Cortina d’Ampezzo will be heavily regulated during the Olympic period.
In many cases, private vehicles will need to be left in Longarone, followed by onward travel via dedicated shuttle services. This results in:
- Longer travel times
- Waiting times that may reach one hour to one and a half hours
- Travel on shared vehicles
- Limited flexibility in departure and return times
