2026 Winter Olympics 6 Feb 2026

2026 Winter Olympics

The 2026 Winter Olympics begin today, and few settings capture their spirit better than the Dolomites. Rising sharply above the Giau Pass, the 2,595-metre Ra Gusela peak delivers the kind of dramatic alpine scenery that defines the Milano-Cortina 2026 Games—a joint edition hosted by Milan and Cortina d"Ampezzo, blending metropolitan energy with deep alpine heritage.
