Visitors can plan to cheer at a total of 195 competitions, with ski mountaineering—which involves climbing up slopes and skiing back down—making its debut as an Olympic discipline.

Cortina and 11 other towns in the Dolomites are part of Dolomiti Superski, the largest ski area in the world, connecting 450 lifts with one pass. In the summer, the same network gives easy access to over 6,200 miles of signposted hiking trails, 250 miles of mountain biking paths, and myriad other outdoor pursuits.
