SNTV has been given priority access to be the first international media to film the temporary Olympic village that will house up to 1,400 athletes and other team members who will compete in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, during next year’s Winter Olympics.

The site consists of nearly 400 rented mobile homes arranged in close proximity to one another on a humid valley floor.

Each trailer is divided into two rooms, with up to two people in each room, with every room having its own bathroom and shower.

All of the rooms are about 18 square meters (200 square feet), with one of the two rooms in each mobile home slightly larger than the other to accommodate Paralympians.

Anyone staying in trailers near the outskirts of the 1.4-kilometre long (nearly mile-long) Village will have a ten-minute walk to the common areas — which include a canteen, gym, game room, offices, relaxation areas and a laundromat.

The altitude at the Village area is 1,292 meters (4,239 feet) — slightly higher than in downtown Cortina.

After the Olympics and the Paralympics, the mobile homes will be re-used at camping sites around Italy, with some of them already destined for a hockey club in nearby Brunico.

Fabio Saldini, the Italian Government Commissioner for Olympic Infrastructure, said the fact that "everything will be removed" once the games finish, makes the "beauty" of the village.

"The environment will not return to its previous state, it will be improved," he said.

"This is a temporary village, but of high design."
