This winter getaway brings together two sides of Italy’s sporting spirit: the snow-covered drama of Cortina d’Ampezzo and the fast-paced thrill of Milan’s Olympic ice. From the graceful intensity of Women’s Slalom in the heart of the Dolomites to the high-stakes atmosphere of the Men’s Ice Hockey semifinals, every moment is carefully curated for maximum impact.
Seamless travel, premium comfort, and a rooftop tour of the iconic Duomo — it’s not just a trip, it’s your front-row pass to the most dynamic week of the Winter Games.
16 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.
17 February | Day 2: Discover Cortina
Ready for your own alpine adventure? Grab your gear and take on Cortina’s world-class ski terrain. With perfectly groomed runs, challenging descents, and sweeping views of the Dolomites, this is your chance to carve fresh lines at your own pace. Whether you're chasing speed or just enjoying the ride — the mountain is yours today.
18 February | Day 3: Alpine Skiing – Women's Slalom Run
Today, head to the slopes for one of the most technical and thrilling events of the Winter Games — the Women’s Slalom. Watch as the world’s best skiers carve their way through a maze of gates on Cortina’s legendary course, combining agility, speed, and razor-sharp focus. With every run, the tension builds — and you’ll be right there to feel it all.
19 February | Day 4: Cortina to Milan
Leave the mountains behind as your private transfer takes you from the alpine calm of Cortina to the vibrant streets of Milan. As the peaks fade into the distance, a new rhythm awaits — one of grand architecture, fashion-forward flair, and the electric pulse of a city ready to impress.
20 February | Day 5: Ice Hockey – Men's semi finals
Get ready for an unforgettable double feature as the Men’s Ice Hockey semifinals take over the arena. Two high-stakes matchups, four determined teams, and one roaring crowd — the atmosphere will be electric from the first puck drop to the final whistle. It’s speed, power, and national pride on full display — and you’ve got the best seat in the house.
21 February | Day 6: 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.
22 February | Day 7: Departure form Cortina
After breakfast and check-out, your private transfer will take you to Venice Airport. Not ready to end the journey? Add a few days of skiing in the Dolomites, explore the cultural gems of cities like Florence or Verona, or jet off to another European destination. Just let us know — our team will craft the perfect extension to match your travel style.
The Ultimate Winter Sports Spectacle
Tell us which events you'd like to attend, and we’ll create a personalized itinerary to match your perfect Winter Games experience. In Milan, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the Opening Ceremony and witness high-energy events like Ice Hockey, Speed Skating, Short Track, and Figure Skating — all set in one of Italy’s most dynamic cities. In Cortina d’Ampezzo, feel the thrill of Alpine Skiing on legendary slopes, the intensity of Bobsleigh and Skeleton, the precision of Luge, and the strategy of Curling — all framed by the spectacular Dolomite mountains. Be part of the Milan & Cortina Winter Games 2026 and experience top-tier winter sport in two of Italy’s most iconic locations.
Accommodation
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. Whether you stay in the elegant alpine resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, the scenic town of Bormio, or the luxurious St. Moritz, Switzerland — perfectly positioned less than an hour drive for attending the events in Livigno, or the picturesque Val di Fiemme — you can be assured of comfort and convenience throughout your stay. 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.

USA - Paris Summer Games 2024

Booked our trip to the Paris 2024 Olympics with World of Discoveries and have been exceptionally pleased with the experience and customer service. WOD created a a customized pre-trip excursion to Normandy for tours of the D-Day Beaches and Mont St Michel, as well as a week-long stay in Paris for the games, and drivers/transportation arranged for all our transfers. When our original hotel was bought out by one of the Olympics delegations, WOD seamlessly booked us at another (upgraded) location with no issues. Communication was easy and effective by email, and our in-country representatives during the games were proactively in touch regarding transfer information or to help answer questions. I had not used WOD prior to this experience, but will definitely do so for our next big adventure!
