As is well known, the “Eugenio Monti” bobsleigh facility will undergo a renovation for the next Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina 2026, financed by the government's amendment thanks to the budget maneuver. A strategic decision for the activities aimed at the Italian edition of the Games. "With the signing of the program agreement for the construction and co-financing of the redevelopment of the bob Eugenio Monti plant, the commitment of the Region in the construction of one of the works is put on paper. symbol of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics. The project becomes in effect an infrastructural work that lays the foundations for the rebirth of the Veneto mountains and for the realization of a sustainable environmental plan that intends to grow inspired by the principles of the Agenda UN 2030. With the redevelopment of the bobsleigh facility, Cortina will mark the starting point for a new course in the mountain area, with sporting history starting a new phase of economic, environmental, infrastructural and tourism development ", he declared the president of the Veneto Region, Luca Zaia.
An agreement that combines the efforts of the province of Belluno and the municipality of Cortina, as well as that of the region itself. An effort that leads the province of Belluno and Cortina to put 500,000 euros each on the scales to make this system safer, respecting the environment and putting alternative solutions on the field to make it perfect. “This agreement is of crucial importance: the redevelopment of the Eugenio Monti track, in fact, constitutes public interest of municipal, provincial, regional and national rank in relation to the interest of a tourist and sporting nature and its repercussions.
The identification of Cortina as an Olympic venue has already landed important resources on the territory, which will solve problems highlighted for some time, especially in the area of mobility and accessibility to places. I can therefore only express my satisfaction with today's approval, which continues along the path already started aimed at the rebirth of the Veneto mountains and for which we will continue to work hard in the coming months ", said the regional councilor of Veneto Elisa De Berti, where mobility and logistics will be crucial in travel.
As we analyzed last night in the episode of "Puppo & Ambesi live by night", now there remains the big issue of the timing related to this redevelopment, given that it will hardly be possible, before 2025, to conclude and then use the system for training and then the necessary test events.
