Olympic Winter Venues: Distance Events

WWhile the lemon trees will soon be blooming in the south of the country, the north of Italy will be dominated by winter sports in the coming weeks. In fact: more or less the entire north. The 2026 Winter Olympics from February 6th to 22nd are already considered to be games with record-breaking distances. Competitions take place in pretty much every valley that has a tradition of winter sports. The metropolis of Milan in Lombardy and the posh ski resort of Cortina are just the largest anchor points of a show that is spread across eight locations – including the Amphitheater of Verona, the venue for the closing ceremony.
