2028 Winter Youth Olympics

The 2028 Winter Youth Olympics (), officially known as the V Winter Youth Olympic Games and commonly known as Dolomiti Valtellina 2028, will be the fifth edition of the Winter Youth Olympics, an international winter sports, education and cultural festival for teenagers, in a city designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

This will be the fifth time Italy hosted an Olympic event, and the first time the country hosted either the Summer or Winter Youth Games.
