read morebook a tour

Step into the chic heart of Italy — Milan — and unlock an extraordinary winter escape ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics. From sleek design galleries to historic cafés, then whisking away into the snow-dusted Dolomites and alpine arenas, this is your premium experience. Don’t just visit Milan — live the Milan-Cortina 2026 story....

Be where the excitement begins

Milan is the pulse of the 2026 Winter Games! This European metropolis is not merely a transit point—it’s a destination in itself. With the Games looming at the horizon, Milan offers style, culture, adrenaline and alpine panoramas all in on

1. Milan: Style Meets Winter Sport

Milan, globally recognised for fashion and design, is undergoing a transformation as host city for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The dual-city model of the Games, splitting venues between Milan and Cortina, places Milan firmly in the global sporting spotlight.
Visitors arriving early to this vibrant city will tap into a unique moment: the run-up to the Games, with new infrastructure, renewed neighbourhoods and that unmistakable buzz of anticipation.

Key tip: Book accommodation early — Milan will be the hub for athletes, officials and fans alike.

2. Urban winter magic: culture, cuisine & design

Wander chic interiors of the city’s famed design district, enjoy aperitivo in historic cafés, take in a concert or exhibition. All this against the backdrop of Milan preparing for something grander. The city’s mission: host a world-class event while staying unmistakably Milanese.
Highlight moment: the newly built Olympic Village in Porta Romana, which post-Games will serve the city in a legacy of community and architecture.

3. From City to Snow: Easy access to the Alps

One of the most compelling reasons to base yourself in Milan: you’re at the crossroads of cosmopolitan culture and alpine adventure. With the Games venues spread across Lombardy and Veneto, your stay becomes both city break and mountain escape.
Picture yourself catching an early train, then sipping espresso at altitude, glancing at snow-capped peaks. Or return to the city at dusk, lights reflecting on cobblestones.

Tip: Combine a special-interest day-trip (skiing, snowshoeing, alpine lunch) with your Milan stay for maximum winter-sport volume.

4. Why the 2026 Olympics create a must-visit moment

The upcoming Games present a once-in-a-generation opportunity: Milan will be alive with global visitors, venue launches, cultural activations and legacy projects. According to analysts, the 2026 edition is expected to produce a tourism and economic surge for Italy.
For travel-savvy clients, this means: • Unique atmosphere • New experiences • Access before some places become fully booked or transformed.

Catch the Olympic mood before it goes mainstream! — emphasise urgency, exclusivity, insider status.
