THE IOC ELECTS DOLOMITI VALTELLINA IN THE ITALIAN ALPS AS HOST OF THE WINTER YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES 2028

The Italian Alps will host the next Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2028. This decision was taken by the IOC Members during the 143rd IOC Session in Lausanne, following a presentation by the project leaders, who included Olympic champions Diana Bianchedi and Antonio Rossi.

Dolomiti Valtellina 2028 will be the fifth edition of the Winter YOG. Competitions will take place only in existing venues across three clusters in Valtellina, Trentino and Cortina, returning to some of the iconic sports venues that will be used for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
