70 Days to Go: Olympic Flame and Fan Excitement Build for Milano Cortina 2026
With just 70 days until the Olympic flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, the countdown to Milano Cortina 2026 has truly begun. Preparations for the Winter Games are now moving into their final, full-speed phase – and for fans, the excitement is already starting to spread far beyond the Alps.
A Torch Relay Like No Other
Perhaps the most symbolic moment in the run-up to any Games is the Olympic Torch Relay, and Milano Cortina’s will be one for the record books. Over 63 days, the flame will cover 12,000km, cross 20 regions and 110 provinces, and pass through several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
No fewer than 10,001 torchbearers will carry the flame, each with their own story, linking communities together as anticipation builds. Expect daily celebrations in towns and cities along the way – from school children to athletes to local heroes – all part of Italy’s mission to make these Games belong not just to Milan and Cortina, but to the entire nation.
IOC President Kirsty Coventry captured that spirit when she said:
“This is the first time we’re going to see Games spread across so many regions. Let’s make them not just incredible for Milan and Cortina, but for all of Italy – especially in today’s world where everything can feel divided.”
Fans at the Heart of the Games
It’s not just athletes preparing for February. Fan engagement is already front and centre. The Organising Committee has just launched its official Games-time website, and another release of Opening Ceremony tickets is coming on 16 September. Demand is high – with almost 800,000 of the 1.5 million tickets already sold.
That appetite has been fuelled by cultural events staged across Italy’s host regions, which have already involved an estimated six million people. From school programmes to public festivals, the Olympic spirit is spreading well beyond the slopes of Bormio and Cortina.
Kristin Kloster, Chair of the IOC Coordination Commission, summed it up neatly:
“With events spread across multiple regions, we must ensure every athlete and fan feels the magic and the unique Italian spirit of these Games.”
Building for the Future
Unlike past Games, Milano Cortina is following a new model: 85% of competition venues already exist. That means less construction, more sustainability, and more focus on legacy. The Milan Olympic Village is being built on a former railway yard and will later become Italy’s largest student housing complex. In the mountains, new community services and infrastructure are being created to outlast the Games.
Environmental promises are also strong: 100% renewable electricity, reuse of 20,000 venue items from Paris 2024, and a focus on renting rather than buying. For fans and athletes alike, this is a Games with one eye firmly on the future.
The Final Stretch
From test events on the slopes to training sessions for 18,000 volunteers (clocking up an impressive 270,000 hours of preparation), the final pieces of the puzzle are now being slotted into place.
For ski fans, this means the countdown is officially on. From the Men’s Downhill on Bormio’s Stelvio to the freestyle and snowboard contests in Livigno, Milano Cortina 2026 promises to showcase the best of winter sport in one of the most spectacular settings on Earth.
The flame will soon be on its way. The question is – where will you be when it finally arrives?
👉 Tickets are available via the Official Milano Cortina 2026 Site. Hospitality packages are available through On Location.
