The Trampolino Olimpico Italia (Italian Olympic Ski Jump) may sit empty today, but it certainly had an illustrious past.

Surrounded by the stunning Italian Dolomites, the ski jump was constructed for the 1956 Winter Olympics held in Cortina d'Ampezzo. In addition to hosting the world's top skiers that year, you might also recognize it from the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, when a suave Roger Moore takes flight with rifle-toting assassins on motorbikes in hot pursuit. But ski jumping hills must be accredited with the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) for insurance reasons, and the certification lapsed at Cortina in 1990. Even though the Italian resort town (together with Milan) is due to stage the Winter Games again in 2026, there are no plans to bring the landmark jump back into use. Instead, a different ski jumping hill at Predazzo in the Val di Fiemme will be the focus. In the meantime, visitors to Cortina will still be able to admire the sleek lines of its abandoned predecessor.
