<p>As the winter season, the last one before the eagerly awaited 2026 Games, begins to gain momentum, the Olympic Games are finally taking shape in the <em>“Little Tibet”</em> thanks to a moment of great symbolic and practical significance: <span style="font-family: Livigno, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">the handover of the first Olympic venue, the “Livigno Aerials and Moguls”.</span> Many of the 26 Olympic gold medals to be awarded in Livigno will be decided right here, on the snow of the new <em>Five Rings</em> slope at Carosello 3000, where the main stars in 2026 will be the Moguls and Aerials disciplines.</p>
<p>This handover marks a rite of passage, a necessary milestone in the journey that will lead us to the Opening Ceremony. With the activities planned to celebrate the <em>“one year to go”</em> milestone, scheduled to begin on February 6, 2025, preparations will truly kick into high gear. At the same time, this moment is also <span style="font-family: Livigno, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">an achievement worth highlighting and celebrating, even if it is an intermediate step, as it represents the quality of the work done and the renowned technical-organizational efficiency of Livigno.</span></p>

In the presence of the highest State officials, the ribbon was cut for the venue dedicated to Aerials and Moguls: the Olympic Games come to life.
As the winter season, the last one before the eagerly awaited 2026 Games, begins to gain momentum, the Olympic Games are finally taking shape in the “Little Tibet” thanks to a moment of great symbolic and practical significance: the handover of the first Olympic venue, the “Livigno Aerials and Moguls”. Many of the 26 Olympic gold medals to be awarded in Livigno will be decided right here, on the snow of the new Five Rings slope at Carosello 3000, where the main stars in 2026 will be the Moguls and Aerials disciplines.
This handover marks a rite of passage, a necessary milestone in the journey that will lead us to the Opening Ceremony. With the activities planned to celebrate the “one year to go” milestone, scheduled to begin on February 6, 2025, preparations will truly kick into high gear. At the same time, this moment is also an achievement worth highlighting and celebrating, even if it is an intermediate step, as it represents the quality of the work done and the renowned technical-organizational efficiency of Livigno.
This is, in fact, the first venue to be delivered among those that will host the 2026 Olympic Games, located in one of the sites where the highest number of medals will be awarded in Italy’s Five Rings experience.
The project was completed under the internal supervision of the Milano Cortina 2026 Infrastructure Company, and during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Government Commissioner and SIMICO CEO, Architect Fabio Saldini, commented: “I thank the Government for the trust it has placed in us and for its constant support of our work. My congratulations go to everyone who contributed to achieving this result.
