List of Olympic venues in alpine skiing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Tofana hosted the downhill and giant slalom events for the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The Mount Eniwa Downhill Course was used for the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo.

For the Winter Olympics, there are 37 venues that have been or will be used for alpine skiing. Most of the events took place in multiple locations at the Winter Olympics, though a single venue for all events has been used in recent Games in an effort to lessen economic and environmental concerns.
