The Mountain Trooper and the Crown Prince – Winter Olympics in Milan
The XXV Winter Olympic Games will take place between 6 and 22 February 2026 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. On 7 February, enthusiasts of alpine skiing will be able to watch the men’s downhill event, a discipline that was among Otto von Habsburg’s favourites. Although he never commented publicly on the Winter Olympics, the world of skiing and mountain sports was by no means foreign to him.
