Val Gardena and the Winter Olympics: a lasting bond
Val Gardena has long been synonymous with winter sports. Home to the iconic World Cup downhill race on the legendary Saslong slope, the valley is a hub of elite events and Olympic training. In the lead-up to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, the entire Dolomites region is stepping back into the international spotlight. While the competitions will mostly take place in Cortina and other areas in Lombardy, Val Gardena remains a key player—offering training venues, side events, and an ideal alternative for those seeking Olympic-level conditions in a more authentic and peaceful setting. Staying at La Tambra means experiencing the legacy of world-class skiing, close to the action but away from the crowds.
