This thoughtfully curated Winter Games journey takes you from the alpine elegance of Cortina to the Nordic heart of Cavalese, and finishes in the vibrant city of Milan. Along the way, you’ll witness a spectacular mix of disciplines — from luge and alpine skiing to cross-country and short track — as well as cheer on the USA team during a high-energy hockey match.
With perfect accommodations, smooth private transfers, and exclusive extras like a rooftop tour of the Duomo, this tour offers a rich blend of sport, scenery, and Italian atmosphere at every turn.
8 February | Day 1: Arrival in Cortina
Arrive at Venice Airport, where your journey begins with a private transfer through the scenic mountain roads of northern Italy. Your destination: Cortina d’Ampezzo, a picturesque alpine town set against the dramatic backdrop of the Dolomites. Settle into your hotel, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and get ready to experience the Winter Games in one of Italy’s most iconic winter resorts.
9 February | Day 2: Luge: Women Singles Heat 1 & 2
Head to the iconic ice track in Cortina for the Women's Singles Luge — Heats 1 & 2. Watch as athletes launch themselves down the course one by one, steering at lightning speed with nothing but precision, nerve, and razor-sharp reflexes. Every run builds toward the final outcome, and today’s heats are where momentum begins. It’s fast, focused, and full of adrenaline — luge at its finest.
10 February | Day 3: Alpine Skiing: Women's Team Combined: Slalom + Downhill
Today brings a thrilling combination of speed and skill with the Women’s Team Combined event in Alpine Skiing. The competition kicks off with the high-speed intensity of the downhill, followed by the precision and agility of the slalom. Athletes must master both elements to stay in contention, making this one of the most complete tests of versatility on the mountain. Expect bold runs, tight margins, and edge-of-your-seat excitement from start to finish.
11 February | Day 4: Cortina to Cavalese
Leave the dramatic peaks of Cortina behind as your private transfer takes you through the scenic Dolomites to the charming alpine town of Cavalese. Nestled in the Val di Fiemme region, this peaceful mountain setting is home to classic Nordic sports and authentic Italian hospitality — the perfect next stop on your Winter Games adventure.
12 February | Day 5: Women's 10 km Freestyle Cross-Country Skiing
The atmosphere in Cavalese shifts to quiet intensity as the Women’s 10 km Freestyle begins. This event is all about rhythm, endurance, and sheer willpower as athletes glide across the snow-covered landscape at breathtaking pace. Set against the backdrop of Val di Fiemme’s forests and peaks, every kilometer brings a new test — and a new chance to pull ahead.
13 February | Day 6: Cavalese to Milan
As your time in the mountains winds down, a private transfer will take you from the serene alpine charm of Cavalese to the vibrant energy of Milan. Rolling hills give way to urban elegance as you arrive in one of Italy’s most dynamic cities — ready for the final chapter of your Winter Games journey.
14 February | Day 7: Ice Hockey: Men's Preliminary Round
Get ready for fast-paced action and fierce national pride as you attend a Men’s Ice Hockey preliminary match. Every shift brings intensity — from sharp passes and hard hits to game-changing goals. It’s not just about who wins today, but who builds momentum on the road to the finals. The crowd, the pace, the pressure — this is hockey at its rawest and most electric.
15 February | Day 8: Guided Duomo Tour with Rooftop Access
Today offers a change of pace with a guided tour of one of Milan’s most iconic landmarks — the majestic Duomo. Explore the cathedral’s intricate interiors, rich with history and detail, then ascend to the rooftop terraces for panoramic views over the city’s skyline and spires. With expert insights and exclusive access, this experience blends architecture, culture, and awe-inspiring perspectives in the heart of Milan.
16 February | Day 9: Short Track events
The rink heats up with a packed short track session featuring speed, strategy, and high-stakes competition. Watch the Men’s 500 m qualifiers kick off the day with explosive bursts of speed, followed by the Women’s 1000 m quarterfinals, semifinals, and the high-drama final — where medals and milliseconds hang in the balance. The excitement continues with the Men’s 5000 m relay semifinals, a race that’s all about timing, teamwork, and breathtaking exchanges on the edge of control.
17 February | Day 10: Milan at Leisure
Take the day to explore Milan on your own terms. Dive into the city’s rich layers — from Renaissance masterpieces and iconic landmarks like the Duomo, to sleek boutiques and buzzing cafés tucked into quiet corners. Whether you’re wandering through Brera’s art-filled streets, discovering contemporary design, or simply enjoying an aperitivo in a sunlit piazza, Milan offers a perfect blend of culture, style, and atmosphere to wrap up your journey in unforgettable fashion.
18 February | Day 11: Departure form Milan

Securing accommodation in Italy might be, surprisingly, the trickiest part of planning your journey. Most hotels are already booked for Games officials, sponsors, and supporters. World of Discoveries is happy to inform you that we have secured access to accommodation across key locations to guarantee your attendance at the world's biggest winter sporting event. We have handpicked the best-rated and well-located hotels with a wonderful set of amenities to enhance your travel experience.

Some of the most important Winter Games events will take place in Livigno — but there’s a thing: all accommodations in the area have already been fully booked by officials, athletes, and Winter Games partners. And here's the kicker: there are no 5-star hotels in the region at all. That’s why we’re offering a truly exceptional alternative: stay in the iconic luxury resort of St. Moritz, Switzerland. While enjoying world-class comfort and amenities, you’ll also benefit from our exclusive daily transfer service to all events in Livigno. Our dedicated fleet and on-the-ground team will ensure smooth, stress-free necessary travel and guidance to each venue. Experience the Winter Games in elegance — without compromising on comfort or convenience.

Karen Stowell
Australia - World Cup 2022, Qatar

Varya and her team made everything run smoothly. We had World Cup tickets already purchased but could not marry with accommodation. Varya came up with an itinerary that included flights, transfers and hotels, supported by 24-hour help, which was tested on several occasions. We have no hesitation in recommending WofDi, and foresee using their services again. Thank you so much for so much.
Michael Morcos
Australia - World Cup 2022, Qatar

Qatar World Cup experience was awesome, I travelled in 2018 with Varya and the team with my dad, this time around took my cousin and both times the team went above and beyond expectations. Thank you to the World of Discoveries team. Looking forward to USA, Mexico, Canada or even potentially Asian Cup in Qatar.
