Opening-ceremony venue of the 1956 Winter Olympics

Cortina's Olympic Ice Stadium was built from 1952 as an open-air figure skating arena, with the works directed by the designer Ghedina, and was inaugurated on 26 October 1955. Its load-bearing structure is reinforced concrete clad in fir, larch and Swiss stone pine, all trees typical of the area.

It held the opening and closing ceremonies, the figure skating events and some of the ice hockey games of the 1956 Winter Olympics, and the Olympic flame burned here throughout the Games. A roof was added sometime after 1981.

The stadium has since hosted ice hockey and skating competitions, and it is home to the Serie A and youth ice hockey championships and to the local recreational skaters. In 2026 it hosted the curling of the Winter Olympics and the curling and closing ceremony of the Winter Paralympics. It appears in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.
