In February 2026, the Winter Olympics were held across two host cities in northern Italy for the first time in Olympic history.
Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo jointly hosted the 2026 Winter Olympics, running from February 6 to 22, 2026. Splitting the Games between a major city and a smaller mountain resort let organizers combine Milan's urban infrastructure with Cortina's established alpine venues, and this arrangement marked the first time Italy's Winter Olympics were spread across two host cities rather than centered on just one.
Turin and Rome, and Venice and Florence, are prominent Italian city pairings but were not the actual host cities chosen for the 2026 Winter Games, Turin itself had already hosted its own single-city Winter Olympics back in 2006.
Cortina d'Ampezzo had actually hosted the Winter Olympics once before, back in 1956, making this 2026 Games a kind of homecoming for the alpine resort nearly seventy years later.
