Ski mountaineering will be making its Olympic debut at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. The skiing discipline is a timed event, where athletes climb an established mountain course and then descend on skis.  

The ski mountaineering events will take place across two days, with the men’s and women’s events on February 13, and the mixed relay on February 15. 

Ski mountaineering will take place at the Stelvio ski course, in Bormio, Italy. Located on Vallecetta mountain in northern Italy, Stelvio is considered one of the most difficult ski runs in the world. 

Ski mountaineering will include three events, men’s, women’s and a mixed relay.
