The Slovenia House at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games is not merely a showcase, but a platform for fostering collaboration and strengthening Slovenia’s international presence.
The Slovenia House in Cortina d’Ampezzo aims to be a space for an authentic and comprehensive presentation of Slovenia. Its purpose is to offer visitors a sense of warmth, togetherness, and the sporting spirit that characterise our country.
We seek to create an environment that enables meaningful interactions — from cheering and social gatherings to presentations and content that bring together people from diverse backgrounds.
The Slovenia House aspires to become an international meeting point — a place for exchanging ideas, forming connections, and presenting stories that reflect the diversity and creativity of Slovenia.
To present Slovenia as a dynamic, innovative, and welcoming country that brings together sporting achievements, cultural heritage, economic strength, and tourism appeal is the main mission of the Slovenia House.
Through a diverse programme of events, exhibitions, presentations, and interactive content, we aim to showcase the many facets of Slovenia and encourage interest in cooperation, networking, and exchange across various fields.
The values we uphold in the Slovenia House are a passion for excellence, respect for tradition and innovation, mutual cooperation, and openness to the world.
These foundations allow us to create an environment where people feel welcomed, inspired, and connected.
The warmth of wood, the distinctive patterns of Slovenian heritage, and the welcoming atmosphere create a sense of home, even when far away. The visual identity of the Slovenia House draws inspiration from the toplar—a traditional wooden hayrack that once served as a community space and a part of everyday life. It is this spirit of connection that we now bring to the heart of Cortina.
The wooden structure, natural motifs, and refined details subtly remind us of our roots. The Slovenia House continues the design narrative that began in PyeongChang — a story of a space that combines homeliness with contemporary expression and Olympic energy.
Inside, the history of Slovenian skiing will be presented in a modern and curated way. It is not merely a showcase of achievements, but a journey from the first wooden skis to the defining moments that shaped our sporting heritage and contributed to Slovenian identity.
