Has the Cortina Sliding Centre hosted major sliding events before?
Located in the Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy, the Cortina Sliding Centre is one of the most iconic venues in sliding sport history.
The first track in the Cortina d'Ampezzo region was built in 1923, before going through several updates and rebuilds, most notably for the 1956 Winter Olympics. It has hosted many major competitions, including multiple World Championships in the 1930s, 1950s, and 1990s.
A complete rebuild began in 2024, and after passing critical safety tests in early 2025, the new Cortina Sliding Centre officially is back on the map.
How can fans get to the Cortina Sliding Centre?
Cortina d'Ampezzo is a small town dating to before the Roman Empire, and its winding streets can make accommodating large crowds a challenge.
There will be two main options for fans to reach the Cortina Sliding Centre: By car (a park-and-ride will be available nearby, with shuttles taking spectators directly to Cortina), or public transport (Dobbiaco and Ponte nelle Alpi stations will have dedicated shuttles taking spectators directly to Cortina).
How far is the Cortina Sliding Centre from other Olympic venues?
