On Sunday, 8 January, the Slovenia House officially opened its doors in the very heart of Cortina d'Ampezzo. More than just a hub of Slovenian Olympic spirit and a place to gather, the Slovenia House serves as an open “Slovenian embassy,” where Slovenia, under the national brand I feel Slovenia, presents itself as a green, active, and innovative country—bringing together sport, business, tourism, culture, and diplomacy.
Event Programme at the Slovenia House
From 6 to 22 February, the Slovenia House is open to everyone: a place to meet and cheer, as well as a venue for numerous business and protocol events.
More than 20 events are planned at the Slovenia House. The daily programme will connect sporting achievements with business opportunities, cultural creativity, tourism promotion, and cooperation with Slovenian communities abroad.

Location of the Slovenia House
The Slovenia House is located in the very centre of Cortina d'Ampezzo, just steps away from the official fan zone and only 100 metres from the Olympic flame and the main stage of the Olympic Games organisers, where sports fans from around the world will gather. It is open daily from 9:00 to 24:00 at Janbo Bar, one of the most popular social spots in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
