The Cortina Sliding Centre, also known as the Eugenio Monti Sliding Centre, is a sliding venue in the alpine village of Cortina d'Ampezzo in Veneto, Italy. It was purpose-built to host the bobsleigh, skeleton and luge events of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The track is a full reconstruction of the Eugenio Monti Olympic Track which sat on the same site from 1923 until its closure in 2008. The current track is similar in length to the original and has the same number of curves, but the new layout meets modern design, layout, and safety standards set out by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) and the Federation International de Luge (FIL).
