Premium in-venue hospitality and exclusive access

Spectators can also enjoy in-venue hospitality lounges at each competition venue for unparalleled access and exceptional service. The Tofane Lounge, located at the finish line of the women’s Alpine skiing event in Cortina d’Ampezzo, will provide breathtaking views of the Dolomites alongside an exclusive hospitality experience.

Additionally, the Winter Essentials package offers a convenient and elevated way to experience the Games, including guaranteed tickets to select ice hockey matches, priority venue access and exclusive benefits.

A culinary experience showcasing Italian excellence

To enhance the hospitality experience, On Location has appointed renowned Italian chef Carlo Zarri as Culinary Director for the Milano Cortina 2026 hospitality programme. With extensive experience at past Olympic Games, Chef Zarri will craft menus that highlight the rich culinary traditions of Northern Italy, using regional ingredients from Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo and the surrounding areas.

“An unforgettable experience for fans”

Giovanni Malagò, President of the Milano Cortina 2026 Organising Committee, said: “The upcoming Winter Olympics will be a unique opportunity for fans to experience great sporting moments, but also for us to highlight the culture and traditions of our magnificent host territories. On Location’s offering expands the choice for those who want an exclusive stay, attracting fans from all over the world who want to experience premium hospitality. Milano Cortina 2026 will be a great success, a model of integration between sporting spectacle and excellent hospitality services, leaving an indelible mark on the future of Italy.”

“With less than one year to go, Milano Cortina 2026 is shaping up to be a truly exceptional Olympic Winter Games, and we’re thrilled to offer fans unparalleled access to the action with VIP access and check-in, athlete meet and greets, incredible vantage points of starting marks and finish lines, and mouth-watering food representing the rich culture of Italy,” said Will Whiston, Executive Vice-President of the Olympic and Paralympic Games for On Location. “Building on our trailblazing Paris 2024 programme that welcomed thousands of guests, these hospitality packages represent a new standard in Olympic Winter Games hospitality.”

Ensuring authenticity and security

To ensure authenticity and safety, tickets and hospitality packages are exclusively available via the official Milano Cortina 2026 channels. By buying tickets or hospitality packages outside official sources, buyers run the risk that tickets or packages will not be delivered or will be cancelled by the Milano Cortina 2026 Organising Committee in line with the terms and conditions. 

In recognition of Visa’s longstanding partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Visa is the Official Way to Pay. 

Milano Cortina 2026 will be the first edition of the Olympic Winter Games to fully implement the International Olympic Committee (IOC)’s new centralised model for the Olympic ticketing and hospitality programmes. Launched as part of the Olympic Agenda 2020+5 reforms, this innovative approach aims to provide fans around the world with seamless access to tickets and hospitality packages, while simplifying operations, enhancing services to stakeholders, and creating new revenue opportunities.
