Cortina Olympic Village is a trailer park with 400 mobile homes in an Alpine village
Winter Olympians who sign up to stay at Cortina d’Ampezzo’s Athlezes Village shouldn’t expect comfortable accommodation or a cozy fire to snuggle up to after a long day on the mountain.
The temporary village that will house up to 1,400 athletes and other members of the Milan Cortina Games has 377 rented houses arranged next to each other on the floor of the humid Palley.
The Associated Press is the first Adtolet Fires Fires allowed to look in advance in this area, which is located in an inaccessible 10-minute or one-hour walk north of the city of Cortina.
The rooms are simple and soft.
With the exchange of resources, however, comes contact with the Dolomites.
“It is located in a very quiet area of Cortina, where you have the opportunity to hear the sound of the mountains, isolate yourself if you wish,” said Fabio Saldini, the Italian commissioner of Italy, the Commissioner of the Italian Government, said the Commissioner of the Italian Government in charge of the sports infrastructure.
“The beauty of a town like this is in the fact that everything will be removed afterwards. Nothing lasts forever; Nature will not be restored to its previous state but will be improved,” said Saldini. “This is a temporary town, but of great design.”
Providing accommodation for athletes is one of the most important responsibilities for Olympic organizers. It is especially challenging in the geographically dispersed Milan Cortina games. CORTINA’s Trailer Park is one of the two main Olympic villages, the other in Milan.
Winter sports powerhouse Norway has chosen to place its skis in hotels rather than in official Olympic villages, according to Norwegian News Agency NTB.
Many other nations such as the US and Germany, and Itality of Italy, said their athletes will live in villages, although it is unlikely that alpine superstars Lindey von or Mikaela Shiffrin will live in a mobile home park in Cortina.
Cortina will host women’s skiing, curling, curling, curling, curling and skeleton during the games. The village will also be important for the paralympics, which will be held March 6-15.
“Many peoples will use this house, both in the living part and above all in the general features like the Gym,” said Saldini. “Even those who live outside the village will come here.”
It is exposed to the elements
Each trailer is divided into two rooms, with two people in each room. All rooms have their own bathroom and shower. But open the door of the trailer and the athletes can be greeted by the still air every morning or they can be treated to unforgettable pictures of the bright sun and show the mountain peaks.
Warm boots, not slippers, would be the best outfit for walking to a large restaurant for breakfast. Anyone who lives in trailers along the trailectives of the 1.4-kilometer long town will have a 10-minute walk to the usual places, including exercise, including a gym, a room, offices, rest areas and a laandromatmot.
A snowstorm made for blizzard-like conditions during AP’s visit in late November, without permanent windbreak structures.
February, however, brings many hours of sunshine to the area.
The elevation in the village is 1,292 meters (4,239 feet) – slightly higher than the city of Cortina.
“It’s just a jungle here,” said Paride Casagrande, the Village’s Construction Manager. “The wind is a thing. But it doesn’t rain all day every day. It depends on the coldest day and there can be very comfortable days. But the truth is always in nature where it’s cold.”
The Games in Italy are only a few months away and here are all the new events the athletes will be participating in.
The heat of the person itself
When the organizers of the Paris Olympics in the summer announced that they would not provide air conditioning in the village of Athletes, the US and other teams brought their own equipment, increasing strategies to reduce carbon emissions.
No one should bring their own climate control equipment for this.
All rooms at Cortena Village have their own temperature controls.
The thermostat controls the heating unit mounted on the wall and there is also a negative panel on the ceiling that helps to maintain the temperature, both run on electricity.
“Without much energy, the temperature can be increased to 25-26 degrees Celsius, which should be all that is needed,” said Casagrande.
“But everything is considered, considering that I saw athletes walking outside in their underwear even though they were coming out of the snow,” Casagrande added, referring to the competitors in the city for the test event. “The choice is up to the athletes.”

Sleeping on wheels
Every mobile home sits on at least two wheels, which are used only for parking, not for transportation, Casagrande said.
Homes are brought to Cortina by overloaded trucks.
All rooms are approximately 18 square meters (200 square meters), one of the two rooms in each mobile home is slightly larger than the other to accommodate.
The Paralympia rooms also have accessible toilets, toilets and beds.
Expenses and inheritance
The total cost of the house is 38 million euros (US $ 44 Million US).
While mobile homes are rented, it can cost up to 80,000 Euros ($93,000) to buy one.
After the Olympics and ParalyMPICS, the mobile homes will be reused in campsites around Italy, and some of them have already been set up for the hockey club in nearby Brunico.
Large buildings, and temporarily, because the restaurant, the gym and other common areas are already heated by a thermal power plant that works on natural gas and heats the water supply in the village. Air handling units placed on top of buildings control the air.
Trees were cut down to set up a village, drawing more protests in the weather.
“Most of them were already dead,” Casagrande said. “But we also brought in new plants as well [trees]. This is a nature park and we will leave it just as we found it. “
