Where will Olympic Nordic combined competition take place at Milan Cortina 2026?

Nordic combined will take place across two venues during the 2026 Winter Olympics. 

The cross-country portion of the event will take place at the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium in Tesero, a municipality in northern Italy. The venue also will host the standalone cross-country races, as well as the cross-country and biathlon events for the 2026 Winter Paralympics.

Ski jumping —  both as a part of the Nordic combined competition and as a standalone event — will be held at the newly-renovated Predazzo Olympic Ski Jumping Hill at the Giuseppe Dal Ben Ski Jumping Stadium in the village of Predazzo. 

Has the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium hosted major cross-country skiing events before?

The stadium annually hosts the FIS Cross-Country Ski World Cup competitions along with the final stages of the Tour de Ski.

What is the spectator capacity at Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium?

Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium has a capacity of 15,000 people.

Has the Predazzo Ski Jumping Arena hosted major ski jumping events before?

The Giuseppe Dal Ben, the stadium in which the Predazzo Hill is located, hosted the ski jumping and Nordic combined events of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1991, 2003 and 2013, as well as the 2013 Winter Universiade, several World Cup events and three World Cup championships. 

The Predazzo Olympic Hill, however, was constructed specifically for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The venue is set to host the fourth stop on the FIS Summer Grand Prix calendar in September 2025, which will function as a test event for the Olympics.

What is the spectator capacity at the Predazzo Ski Jumping Arena?

The Predazzo Ski Jumping Arena can seat 5,000 fans.

What is the cross‑country course distance and elevation gain at the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium?

The Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium has 19km (nearly 12 miles) of trails and is located at 830m (just over a half mile) above sea level.

In the individual Nordic combined events, athletes compete in a 10km-long (6.2 mile-long) cross-country race. In the team sprint, groups of two split a 15km-long (9.3 mile-long) race, each skiing 7.5km (just over 4.6 miles). The total elevation gain depends on which course is being raced.

What are the hill specs (K‑point/HS) and in‑run profile for the ski jumping hills at Milan Cortina 2026?

The renovations at the Predazzo, which were completed in July 2025, extended the lengths of both the normal and large hills. 

The normal hill has a hill size of 109 (an increase from HS103) and a K-point of 98m (about 322 feet). The normal hill’s in-run measures 93.51m (about 307 feet) in length.

The large hill has a hill size of 143 (up from HS135) and a K-point of 128m (about 420 feet), with an in-run measuring 115.13m (about 378 feet).

Both in-runs are angled at 32 degrees.

How do these Olympic Nordic combined venues compare to those used in PyeongChang and Beijing?

The ski jumping hills at the Predazzo are about the same size as those at the Alpensia Ski Jumping Center from the 2018 PyeongChang Games. At Alpensia, the large hill is HS142, while the normal hill is HS109. The hills used in Beijing, however, slightly were smaller, with the large hill standing at HS140 and the normal hill measuring at HS106.

Opened in the late 1980s, the Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium has proven it can provide proper weather conditions and an optimal setting for elite competition. The Alpensia Cross-Country Skiing Center, which originally opened in 1995, similarly is well-tested. However, the Kuyangshu Nordic Center and Biathlon Center in Zhangjiakou, which was home to the cross-country portion of the Nordic combined competition at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, was built specifically for the Games and utilized artificial snow. 

How much will tickets cost for the Nordic combined competitions at Milan Cortina 2026?

Tickets for the ski jumping events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics range from 50 to 120 euros (approximately $58 to $140 USD) at face value. Hospitality packages, which include food and drink, cost $175.17 USD.

How far are the Olympic Nordic combined venues from each other?

The Predazzo Olympic Ski Jumping Hill and Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium are only five miles apart, allowing athletes and fans to move easily between the two venues on competition day.
