Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Closing Ceremony

On 15 March 2026, Milano Cortina 2026 will return Cortina d’Ampezzo to the centre of the international spotlight as it hosts one of the most emotional moments of the Winter Paralympic Games: the Paralympic Closing Ceremony. A solemn and symbolic occasion that will officially mark the end of the Games, entrusting the Dolomites with the task of bidding farewell to the world.

The event will take place at the historic Stadio Olimpico del Ghiaccio, also known as the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium. More than just a sports venue, it is a true Olympic icon: built for the 1956 Games, it continues to embody Cortina’s deep connection with the history of sport.

The ceremony will be a moment of encounter and shared emotion, bringing together athletes, delegations, volunteers and spectators in a single, powerful collective experience.

Choosing Cortina d’Ampezzo as the setting for this finale is no coincidence. After writing a fundamental chapter in Italian Olympic history in 1956, Cortina once again takes centre stage in 2026, symbolising continuity between past and future.

The Paralympic Winter Games Closing Ceremony in Cortina d’Ampezzo will not only mark the conclusion of Milano Cortina 2026, but also the beginning of a legacy that looks far ahead: a message of inclusion and beauty destined to endure over time, with the Queen of the Dolomites as its exceptional witness.
