Two women's World Cup downhills and a Super-G from 15 to 17 January 2027 on the Olympia delle Tofane, the run of the 1956 and 2026 Winter Games. Parterre from 10 euro.
The Olympia delle Tofane is the run of Cortina's women's speed races: it hosted the races of the 1956 Winter Games, the 2021 World Championships and Milano Cortina 2026. The organisers describe its sections: it opens with the Schuss, with gradients of up to 65% and speeds close to 140 km/h, followed by the Duca d'Aosta jump, the blind Delta section, the Gran Curvone and the Scarpadon, the change of gradient that leads into the final stretch.
The 2027 edition has two downhills, on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 January, and a Super-G on Sunday 17, all at 11:00 according to the organisers' programme. Official training runs are on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14, also at 11:00. On Saturday at 18:15 the prize-giving and the bib draw take place in the town centre. The events in town, with talks, music and evening entertainment, have no schedule yet: Fondazione Cortina, the organiser, says it will be announced in the coming weeks, while the Dolomiti Bellunesi tourist board says January.
The World Cup first came to Cortina in 1969, the first women's races were held in 1974 and since 1993 the stop has been a fixture of the calendar. In January 2025 Sofia Goggia won the downhill ahead of Kajsa Vickhoff Lie and Federica Brignone, and Brignone took the Super-G ahead of Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter.

Good to know
- Admission: You need a ticket for the finish area. According to the organisers' ticket page, the parterre costs 10 euro on Friday and 15 on Saturday and Sunday, the grandstand 25 euro on Friday and 50 on the other two days, and the Sparkling Corner, a standing hospitality area with finger food and sparkling wine, 100 and 150 euro. For the parterre only, children up to 8 go free (two per paying adult) and those aged 8 to 14 pay half price (one per paying adult); there are no reductions for the grandstand or the Sparkling Corner. In their spectator information, not yet updated for 2027, the organisers also list areas along the course that can only be reached on skis (Duca d'Aosta, Pomedes, Festis), with no ticket mentioned. Tickets go on sale on TicketOne on 16 November 2026.
- Tickets on TicketOne from 16 November 2026, via the official site cortinaskiworldcup.com. Parking, a shuttle and a return lift ride are provided for ticket holders; dogs are not allowed. The ticket page still carries lines from past editions, so check prices and conditions again when sales open.
- The finish area is at Rumerlo. The spectator information still dates from past editions: back then you got there from the Acquabona park-and-ride with the shuttle to Gilardon, then the Socrepes chairlift and a ten-minute walk, and from the centre with urban bus line 3 or the ski bus to Gilardon; traffic was restricted from Gilardon to Piè Tofana and from Ponte Corona to Pocol. The lift has changed since then: from winter 2025/26 the Gilardon-Roncato and Roncato-Socrepes chairlifts have been replaced by a 10-seater gondola, according to the lift company ISTA, and the race pages do not yet say how the ride up will work. The organisers say the information will be updated in autumn 2026.
- If you are skiing: on race days only the Olympia run is closed, according to the organisers and the lift company, and the rest of the Tofane stays open. From the centre, according to the same information, the Freccia nel Cielo gondola goes up to Col Drusciè, from where you ski down to the parterre. For the lifts, see the Cortina ski area page.
