Don't miss the excitement of the official ceremonies: it starts on 6 February with the opening ceremony at the San Siro Stadium in Milan and ends on 22 February with the final ceremony at the Arena in Verona.

The Stelvio Slope

An icon of speed and technique, the Stelvio slope in Bormio is among the most spectacular and challenging in the world. At 3,186 metres long and with an altitude difference of 987 metres, it has hosted two editions of the Alpine Skiing World Championships (1985 and 2005) and, since 1993, has been a fixed stage of the Men's World Cup. Famous for iconic passages such as the San Pietro jump, the Stelvio has made skiing history, celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023.

Cortina 2026 will host the men's and women's Olympic Alpine skiing and ski mountaineering competitions, starting with the Downhill on 7 February 2026.
