2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics

In recent years, the International Olympic Committee has focused on making hosting more sustainable, encouraging use of existing venues and fitting the Games to the location, rather than the other way around.

Enter Milan Cortina and the first truly regional Games. The events of the Olympics and Paralympics held there will span much of Northern Italy, some of them hundreds of miles apart. Organizers prioritized using existing venues, including ones that routinely host world cups and other international competition, and temporary venues.

The spread of the Games takes snow sports, which are often concentrated in a mountain cluster, and sprinkles them throughout the Dolomites. Transit from Milan is expected to take 5 to 10 hours, leading to the most siloed Games anyone has seen.
