Turin is where the big ice sports events took place: ice hockey, figure skating and speed skating. The special stadiums were close to each other and easily accessible from the Olympic Village.

The Oval Lingotto, next to the former FIAT Lingotto factory premises, hosted the speed skating events. It was designed by the London office of HOK Sports and Studio Zoppini of Milan.

The Lingotto Olympic District was located on the Mercati Generali, the exhibition area of Corso Massimo d'Azeglio.

The Palasport Olimpico, designed by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki was built in front of the old Stadio Communale Santa Rita, the former football stadium and hosted the ice hockey events.

The most unusual building has to be the Palazzo a Vela. The refurbished Palavela was ideal for figure skating and short track speed skating events. With its hexagonal shape, surrounded by a 130m long ring, this building is a fascinating example of modern Italian architecture. It was built in 1961 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the unification of Italy and had since been neglected for many years.

The architect Gae Aulenti took out the gigantic windows and created two separated buildings under the sail-shaped roof. The artificial ice system was automatically controlled. Following the Olympic Games the stadium has been used for various indoor sports events.
