The 2026 Winter Olympics usher in a bold new chapter for the Games, set against the dynamic backdrop of northern Italy. For the first time in Olympic history, two destinations will share the spotlight: Milan & Cortina d’Ampezzo, joined by additional Alpine venues to create one of the most expansive and scenic Winter Olympics experiences to date.

At the heart of the action, Milan will host the Opening Ceremony, as well as ice hockey, speed skating, and figure skating, while the legendary mountain resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo becomes the stage for women’s alpine skiing, bobsleigh, and biathlon events.
