Olympic Flame Arrives in Cortina

The Olympic Flame has arrived in Cortina d'Ampezzo, the city co-hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics with Milan. The arrival coincides with the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Winter Games held in the same town. The torch relay previously passed through Vaidont, an area that suffered severe flooding in the past due to a landslide. Cortina, known as a popular destination for skiers, has hosted film shoots, including the comedy “The Pink Panther”. The Winter Olympics will take place from February 6th to 22nd.
