Posted on Jan 10, 2026 / Sports
The 2026 Winter Olympics, officially called Milano Cortina 2026, are happening in Italy from February 6 to February 22, 2026. The Games are co-hosted by Milan, a buzzing city in northern Italy, and the mountain resort town of Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites. Competition venues also spread to other Alpine towns like Livigno, Bormio, and Val di Fiemme, creating a wide geographic footprint across northern Italy. This mix of city and mountain settings gives fans a little bit of everything — from urban arenas to snowy mountain slopes. The event brings together winter sports athletes from over 90 countries. The Paralympics follow shortly after, running from March 6 to March 15, 2026. Lots of visitors are booking travel and lodging early because these locations are very popular in winter. Overall, it’s a major international celebration of winter sport and culture. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
