Cortina: work begins on Broadcasting facilities for 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games

The first locations earmarked for the 2026 Winter Olympics are finally taking shape in Cortina.

The current temporary parking lot in the area adjacent to the Ice Stadium – near Hotel Barisetti – will be closed to make way for facilities dedicated to the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Broadcasting service.

Broadcasting represents theset of television and multimedia production and broadcasting activities that will allow the Olympics to be told around the world, giving visibility to the event and to the image of Cortina d’Ampezzo.
The intervention includes the installation of temporary structures – containers, tensile structures and technical spaces – functional for the management of international filming and broadcasting that will remain operational for the duration of the Olympics and Paralympics. The space will be dismantled at the end of the event next March 2026.

The City of Cortina points out that the parking lot in question had already been identified as temporary and that the areas have long been designated for the Olympic event. In order to avoid further complications to the road system and livability of the town, it was decided to start the work at this time, after the large summer tourist flow in August and before the winter season starts.

As of Monday, September 15, 2025, therefore, parking will no longer be available.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and thank citizens for understanding.
