The legacy of the Olympics for Italy.

The Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics will not only be a world-class sporting event, but also a unique opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the Italian territory. The impact of this edition will not be limited to the two weeks of competitions, but will have positive repercussions on infrastructure, economy and tourism for many years to come.

A More Connected Italy

One of the main goals of Milan-Cortina 2026 is to improve mobility between the locations involved. Projects such as upgrading the rail network between Milan and the Dolomites and improving access roads to the mountain resorts will help not only during the Games, but also make travel easier for residents and tourists after the event.

Sustainable Infrastructure

Unlike many past editions, Milan-Cortina 2026 focuses on the reuse of existing facilities. This sustainable choice will reduce costs and environmental impact, leaving a legacy of modernized facilities ready for future sports and leisure competitions for the local community.

A Boost for Tourism

The Olympics represent an extraordinary international showcase. Iconic locations like Cortina d'Ampezzo, already known for their beauty, will receive even more attention, boosting winter and summer tourism. The entire tourism industry will benefit from the influx of visitors, with a positive impact on hotels, restaurants and local businesses.

An Olympics Model for the Future

Milan-Cortina 2026 is proposed as a model for future editions of the Games, demonstrating that events of this magnitude can be organized without waste and with a keen eye on sustainability. It will be an opportunity to show the world an innovative, organized and efficient Italy.

The legacy of Milan-Cortina 2026 will therefore be much greater than the event itself: an investment in the future of the country, capable of generating concrete benefits for entire generations.
