Nearly 400 mobile homes have been installed across a valley in the Italian Alps to serve as a temporary Olympic village for the upcoming games in Cortina. The 1.4-kilometer stretch will accommodate 1,400 athletes, offering amenities such as heating, private bathrooms, and wheelchair accessibility for Paralympic participants.

The project, which cost 38 million euros, emphasizes sustainability by ensuring the mobile homes will be relocated to camping sites across Italy after the games. This approach avoids permanent construction, helping to keep the mountain environment pristine while meeting the needs of the athletes.
