In a few weeks Corina d’Ampezzo will host the FIS Alpine World Ski Championship. This is a skiing location with a ton of history. Cortina hosted the second edition of the Alpine World Championships in 1932 as Alpine Skiing was not part of the 1932 Lake Placid Winter Olympics.
The first ever televised Winter Olympics was held in Cortina in 1956, with “the Blitz from Kitz”, Toni Sailer, winning three gold medal.
