Cesana Pariol hosted the bobsleigh events for the 2006 Winter Olympics in neighboring Turin.

For the Winter Olympics, there are 19 venues that have or will host bobsleigh. Initially the only sliding sport for the Winter Games, it was first combined with luge in 1976. It has been that way since 1984 and skeleton since 2002.
