Gondolas, Peaks & Podiums

Start your Winter Games adventure in the heart of Venice, just in time for the iconic Carnival. Stroll through festive piazzas filled with masks, music, and magic before heading north into the snow-covered Dolomites. In Cortina d’Ampezzo, witness thrilling alpine action — from high-speed skiing to the intensity of luge. For the Biathlon, a private transfer will take you to Anterselva, home to one of the sport’s most legendary arenas.

The journey ends back in Venice, where you can unwind in luxury or dive deeper into the Carnival's celebrations. Prefer to tailor your experience? Just let us know — this itinerary is yours to shape.

Make the most of the Games

7 February | Day 1: Arrival in Venice

Arrive in Venice, where your private transfer will take you straight to your elegant hotel in the heart of the city. From there, step into the charm of canals, bridges, and timeless beauty — and let yourself be swept into the magic of this extraordinary city on water.

8-9 February | Day 2-3: Venice carnival

Spend these days wrapped in the magic of the Venice Carnival — a celebration of elegance, mystery, and centuries-old tradition. Wander through narrow alleys and grand piazzas, admire intricate masks and lavish costumes, and take in the sounds of live music echoing through the canals. Whether you're sipping a spritz by the water or dancing beneath the chandeliers of a masquerade ball, Venice during Carnival is an experience that stays with you long after the masks come off.

10 February | Day 4: Venice to Cortina

Leave the romance of Venice behind as your private transfer takes you through the changing landscapes of northern Italy to the alpine elegance of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Settle into your mountain hotel and breathe in the crisp Dolomite air — your next chapter of snow, sport, and stunning scenery begins here.

11 February | Day 5: Luge: Men/Women Doubles

Today, get ready for raw speed and perfect coordination as you watch the Men’s and Women’s Doubles Luge finals. Athletes fly down the ice track in synchronized pairs, navigating twists and turns at incredible velocity. It’s fast, fearless, and one of the most electrifying events of the Winter Games.

12 February | Day 6: Alpine Skiing: Women's Super-G

Today, head to the slopes for the Women’s Super-G — a high-stakes event where speed meets precision. Watch the world’s best skiers race down Cortina’s dramatic terrain, balancing bold lines and split-second decisions. It’s one of the most intense and graceful alpine disciplines, and seeing it live is pure exhilaration.

13 February | Day 7: Biathlon: Men's 10 km Sprint

This morning, your private transfer will take you from Cortina to the renowned Südtirol Arena in Anterselva for the Men’s 10 km Sprint in Biathlon. Feel the tension rise as athletes combine the explosive pace of cross-country skiing with the laser focus of precision shooting — all set against the spectacular alpine backdrop of South Tyrol.

14 February | Day 8: Cortina at Leisure

Enjoy a free day in Cortina d’Ampezzo — and make it your own. Stroll through the elegant town center, visit chic boutiques, unwind in a cozy café, or take a cable car for panoramic views of the Dolomites. Want something more active? Grab your gear and head to the slopes. With world-class runs and stunning alpine scenery, Cortina offers some of the finest skiing and snowboarding in Europe.

15 February | Day 9: Back to Venice

Today, your private transfer will take you from the snowy peaks of Cortina back to the shimmering canals of Venice. As the mountains fade into the distance, get ready to trade alpine views for marble palaces, gondolas, and the timeless charm of La Serenissima — the perfect place to end your Winter Games journey.

16 February | Day 10: Venice at Leisure

Enjoy a free day in Venice — and make it your own. Embrace the final moments of Carnival with its lively streets and costumed elegance, or dive into the city’s timeless wonders. Visit the grand Doge’s Palace, glide along quiet canals on a gondola, or savor the magic of Venetian cuisine in a hidden trattoria. However you choose to spend the day, Venice offers enchantment at every turn.

17 February | Day 11: Departure from Venice

After breakfast and check-out, your private transfer will take you to the airport. Still in the mood for adventure? Spend a few extra days carving down Italy’s alpine slopes, uncover the treasures of cities like Florence or Rome, or set off to explore a new European country. Just let us know — we’ll design a custom extension that turns your getaway into something truly special.

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.

Our reviews

Bruce McDougall

Australia - World Cup 2022, Qatar

I recently toured Qatar during the World Cup with Varya and Mike’s team at World of Discoveries. The experience over three weeks was first class. Varya and her team nailed the detail for every aspect of the trip from planning and booking through to the actual travel, tours, sightseeing, transport, accommodation and ticketing to games. They were always accessible to deal with any issues that arose and went the extra mile to ensure the travelling group was happy, organised and safe. And they throw a mean party. I would not hesitate to recommend World of Discoveries for trips of a lifetime.

Charlie Hendrikson

USA - Paris Summer Games 2024

Hi we had an amazing experience. Absolutely loved it!! The experience was seamless. The details are correct for transportation. LA here we come! Only 1 hr flight but I will use wofdi for accommodation and tickets! Thank you.

Heath Marcus

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!

Sally M

Australia - World Cup 2018

I can't wait for Qatar with World of Discoveries. I went to the Russia World Cup with them in 2018 and loved it. It was really well planned with all the transfers and tickets and our tour guides were fantastic, they went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time which isn't always easy with so many people and different nationalities, but the social events, sightseeing and activities were so much fun. If you want to enjoy your time in Qatar come and join us!

Sayeed Kabir

Australia - World Cup 2018

A huge thank you to Varya and the team for making our World Of Discoveries Tour for 2018 World Cup amazing! They made every moment count with organised tours, accommodation and socialising. A great bunch of people to travel with. Even went extra mile and managed to secure a ticket we were missing for one game. Was wonderfully a little surprised at the detail the tour operators covered in making our trip incredible! I would highly recommend this company!
