2026 Winter Olympics Feb 6, 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 8,514-foot 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.
