Alpine skiing at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics will take place at two separate venues: the Stelvio Ski Centre in Bormio for the men's disciplines and the Tofane Alpine Ski Centre in Cortina d'Ampezzo for the women's disciplines.

Located in the comune of Bormio at the top of the Valtellina valley, Stelvio will host ski mountaineering events along with men's Alpine skiing events at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Bormio is in the Lombardy region of Italy, the richest of all Italian regions and known for its many lakes, including Lake Como and Lake Garda. Lombardy is home to Milan, one of Italy's most famous cities known for its high-end fashion culture. Sofia Goggia, one of the top competitors in the women's speed events in Alpine skiing, hails from Bergamo, an extension of the Milan metro area, an hour northeast of the city center.

Host of the women's Alpine events, the Tofane Alpine Ski Centre is located in Cortina d'Ampezzo of the Veneto region, the first Italian City to host the Olympics at the 1956 Winter Olympics. The Tofane Alpine Ski Centre is nicknamed "Queen of Runs" and is host to all Para Alpine skiing events at the 2026 Winter Paralympics.

The seating capacity at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre, host of the women's Alpine skiing events, is 7,000. Seating capacity for men's Alpine skiing events at the Stelvio Ski Centre is 7,122.

Here is the schedule for Alpine skiing events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games:

Both the Stelvio Ski Centre and the Tofane Alpine Ski Centre have hosted Alpine skiing world championships and are regular stops on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup circuit.

The Tofane Ski Centre hosted the 2021 Alpine Skiing World Championships, where Mikaela Shiffrin won the world title in the women's super combined event. Lara Gut-Behrami, a prominent Swiss Alpine skier competing in her last Winter Olympics in 2026, won two events at worlds in Cortina d'Ampezzo, including the women's super-G and women's giant slalom. Additionally, the slope hosted the men's downhill at the 1956 Cortina Olympics, where it earned the name Olympia delle Tofane.

The slope is a regular stop on the World Cup circuit for speed events and should be similar to the speed courses at the Milan Cortina Games, but the technical courses are different than the 2021 Alpine Skiing World Championships. The giant slalom course has a new start on a section called "Labirintini." The slalom course for 2026 is the identical course used in the Alpine combined, where Shiffrin won the world title.

Stelvio hosted the Alpine World Championships in 1985 and more recently 2005, where U.S. men's skier Bode Miller won the downhill and super-G events.  It's also a regular stop on the World Cup tour for speed events; the courses should resemble the men's Olympic events in Milan Cortina. Though 20 years ago, the courses featured at the Milan Cortina Games should be similar to the 2005 World Championships.

Located in Valtellina, the Stelvio Ski Centre is close to two other Olympic sport venues. The slope is about 15 miles away from the Livigno Snow Park, the venue for both freestyle skiing and snowboarding events. One mile further is the Livigno Aerials and Moguls Park, which hosts additional freestyle skiing events, including the mogul competitions.

In Cortina d'Ampezzo, the Tofane Alpine Ski Centre is located near four other venues. Two venues are located within one mile of the women's Alpine slope: the Cortina Curling Olympic stadium, host of all curling events; the Cortina Sliding Center, host of all sliding events (bobsled, luge and skeleton) and the Cortina Para Snowboarding Park, hosting Para snowboarding at the Winter Paralympic Games. Just 24 miles north of Cortina d'Ampezzo is the Anterselva Biathlon Arena, hosting biathlon events.

Based off the FIS World Cup course, the top of the downhill slope at Tofane Alpine Ski Centre is 2,380 meters, or 7,808 feet, with a course elevation change of 760 meters. At Stelvio, the top of the downhill course is at 2,268 meters, or 7,440 feet, with a course elevation change of 1,023 meters.

Stelvio, regarded as one of the most challenging courses in the world, is famous for its 63% gradient, which is twice the average steepness of a recreational ski slope. Bormio, the comune where Stelvio is located, is known as "Magnificent land" for its panoramic views, thermal springs and snow-capped peaks.

Tofane has a unique viewing experience for Alpine skiing fans. Spectators can take the Tofane Freccia nel cielo gondola, which translates to arrow in the sky, from the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium, over the Cortina Sliding Centre, before arriving at the restaurant Col Drusciè, located at 1,776m of elevation. Fans can either walk or ski down to the finish line at Pale di Rumerlo, the final part of the slope.
