The selected torchbearers will start at 8 a.m. in Ortisei at the ‘Lokomotive’ on the Plaza dla Stazion and continue their journey through the pedestrian zone. They will meet ski instructors and groups in traditional costumes in front of the entrance to the permanent art exhibition ‘Art52’.

They will be accompanied by the children and young people of the Val Gardena Ski Club, which has produced numerous athletes and champions in past Olympic Games. The torch will then continue its journey over the Sella Pass towards the Fassa Valley, via Canazei, to reach its destination for the day, Cavalese.
Among the torchbearers for Milan–Cortina 2026 will be Carolina Kostner (figure skating, bronze in Sochi 2014) and Isolde Kostner (alpine skiing, two bronze medals in Lillehammer 1994 and silver in Salt Lake City 2002), both from Val Gardena.
