Downhill skiing at the Winter Olympics is part of alpine skiing, and the exact location depends on which Games you mean.

Current and upcoming Winter Olympics

For the recent and next Games:

  • Beijing 2022
    • Downhill events were held at the Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre in the Yanqing zone northwest of Beijing.
  • Milano–Cortina 2026 (next Games)
    • All men’s downhill and the other men’s alpine events will be in Bormio , on the Stelvio course (Stelvio Ski Centre).
* All **women’s downhill** and women’s alpine events will be in **Cortina d’Ampezzo** , on the **Olimpia delle Tofane** course (Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre).

So, if you’re asking “where is the downhill skiing in the Olympics” for 2026 , the answer is:

  • Men: Bormio – Stelvio Ski Centre
  • Women: Cortina d’Ampezzo – Olimpia delle Tofane

Mini historical view

Downhill has moved around to different mountain venues over the decades, for example:

  • 2010 Vancouver – Whistler Creekside in British Columbia.
  • 2014 Sochi – Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort in the Caucasus Mountains.
  • 2018 PyeongChang – Jeongseon Alpine Centre (downhill, super‑G, combined) in South Korea.
  • 2022 Beijing – Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre in the mountains outside Beijing.

These are all distinct alpine venues separate from the main city stadiums, chosen for steep vertical drop and long, fast courses that fit Olympic downhill standards.

TL;DR:
There isn’t one single place where Olympic downhill skiing always happens; each Winter Games uses specific mountain venues. For 2026, it’s Bormio (Stelvio) for men and Cortina d’Ampezzo (Olimpia delle Tofane) for women.
