Winter Olympics in the Heart of the Dolomites: Your Chance to Ski Like a Champion

The world will soon turn its eyes to 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy — and what better way to experience the magic than by hitting the slopes yourself? From Cortina d’Ampezzo as one of the co-hosts, to the surrounding valleys of the Dolomites, the stage is set for the ultimate winter adventure.

A few insider curiosities

• Did you know the Olympic torch for Milano Cortina 2026 will begin its relay on 26 November 2025 in Olympia, Greece, and cross 12,000 km across all 110 Italian provinces before reaching the Opening Ceremony?

• The Winter Games will mark one of the most gender-balanced editions in history with women making up approximately 47 % of the athlete participation.

• And if you think ice-hockey or figure skating are the only highlights — think again. The alpine vistas surrounding Cortina, Val Gardena and Val Badia provide the ideal backdrop for your own “gold medal” ski day.

What this means for you

While the Olympic excitement unfolds in Cortina and neighbouring venues, you don’t have to jostle for space on crowded pistes. Instead, picture yourself gliding through powder-fresh runs, absorbing the sunlight on sheer limestone peaks, and skiing resorts like Val Gardena and Val Badia, where the alpine mood is authentic and exclusive.

You’re not just booking a winter getaway — you’re investing in an experience. An experience where you choose freedom over routine, nature over screens, and real adventure over the everyday. And you have the added benefit of professional guiding from certified mountain experts who know these mountains like no one else.

Why Val Gardena & Val Badia shine

• Both valleys offer access to the spectacular Dolomiti Superski area — a network of pistes, lifts and alpine terrain that’s ideal for high-quality skiing.

• With resorts centrally located, you enjoy resort-based skiing: wake up near the lift, ski the day, and return to your comfort zone — no stress, no long transfers.

• Unparalleled scenery combined with the freedom to choose your level of challenge. Whether you’re cruising wide blue runs or carving vivid red descents, you’re supported by the local expertise of a guide who knows which slope, which moment, which view will make this once-in-a-lifetime.
