From July 16 to 19, 2026, Cortina d’Ampezzo transforms into the place where the future of the mountains takes shape. Cortina Design Weekend: an event that collects the legacy of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games and transforms it into a platform for ideas, innovation, and vision.
When the lights go out and the athletes leave the slopes, what remains has the power to endure: a legacy made of culture, planning, sustainability, and new perspectives for alpine areas. It is from this heritage that an event comes to life, capable of putting into dialogue design, technology, architecture, business, and mountain culture, in one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the world, in the heart of the Dolomites.
For three days, Cortina becomes an open-air laboratory:
- meetings
- talks
- installations
- experiences
- discussions
among protagonists of contemporary design, innovators, companies, and visionaries called to imagine the future of alpine communities.
Here, design is aesthetics and a tool for transformation; technology is progress and an opportunity to create smarter, more sustainable, and connected territories; the mountains are a backdrop and a living cultural heritage to preserve and reinterpret.
An invitation to look beyond the Olympic event, beyond the present, beyond traditional project boundaries. It is the meeting point between memory and innovation, between nature and creativity, between roots and vision. An immersive experience dedicated to those who believe that the future of the mountains is built through ideas.
