Cortina Looking More Olympic Day by Day
Photos by Brian Pinelli
The winter jewel that is Cortina shines brightly with just three months to go before the competition begins for the 2026 Olympic Winter games in the Italian Dolomites.
Winter Olympics expert Brian Pinelli says there is still unfinished work such as a new ski lift, the village is on its way to readiness for its second Olympic Winter Games. Pinelli knows the area well. He’s resided in Cortina for the past five years and will be a field producer for US rights holder NBC during the Games.
He has kindly furnished some recent photography he’s gathered around Cortina that highlights the beauty and charm that will be a noticeable contrast to the megalopolis of Milan, 250 miles south, cohost of the 2026 Games. Skating events are slated for several venues in Milan which will hold simultaneous opening and closing ceremonies with Cortina.
