Italy prepares for the XX Winter Olympic Games
Home

Resorts in the Piedmont region of Italy have been busy preparing for the XX Winter Olympic Games on February 10th to 26th and the IX Para Winter Olympic Games on March 10th to 19th.

At the Winter Olympic Games, sportsmen will compete for 84 medals in 15 events, including skiing, snowboarding, ski-jumping, curling and bobsleighing.

With one million spectators expected to converge on the Italian Alps, you may want to avoid the crush at the games themselves.

But if you go soon afterwards, you can make your own action, follow in the footsteps of great sportsmen, and take advantage of the region's improved infrastructure, facilities and accommodation.
