It’s officially T-31 days until the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics! 🔔 On January 6, a giant countdown clock popped up in Milan’s city centre, hyping up the vibe and reminding us that the Games kick off in just a month.
Organizers say prep is cruising along: snowmaking crews are on standby, and infrastructure work is on track. The Santa Giulia Ice Hockey Arena (first action: February 5) is getting its final tweaks, and test matches start on January 9. 🏒
Over in Cortina, the sliding centre is nearly polished for bobsleigh and luge action, and new tunnels through the Dolomites are racing toward completion. 🚗 Keep an eye on traffic plans if you’re heading to the mountains!
Back in Milan, temporary rinks have hosted test hockey and the MiCo Convention Center is bustling as the media hub. Figure skating will dazzle in the south, and the opening ceremony lights up San Siro on February 6. ⚽🎆
With 33,000 hotel rooms in the heart of Milan, the city is ready to welcome fans from around the 🌍. Whether you’re streaming live, planning a Milan–Cortina road trip, or just counting down on your phone, the Winter Olympics vibe is everywhere. Ready to feel the frost? ❄️
