When I first watched the television coverage of the Milan-Cortina Olympics I thought I saw some pretty impressive map graphics but a long online search for them has come up short. However, I did find this very nice map of the Cortina area.

The map is from Cormar Panoramic Maps, a company based in Bolzano, Italy not far from Cortina. This year’s Olympics are very spread out and only a few events are being held in Cortina. Those include curling, women’s alpine skiing, bobsled and luge, all of these in the immediate vicinity of the town.
The Ossario in the bottom left above is a World War I monument.
There’s a lot of nice looking ski areas that from what I can tell are not being used in these Olympics at all. If you’re staying there to watch curling you’ll have plenty of access to ski areas.
Here is a map from the IOC, via TrueNorth, a Canadian Sports blog, showing just how spread out these Olympics are. For context the distance between Milano and Venezia across the bottom of the map is 267 kilometers (166 miles).
