With just 100 days to go until the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, Milan is entering a new chapter — one defined by transformation, creativity, and international welcome.
From 6–22 February 2026, the Winter Olympics will take centre stage across Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, followed by the Paralympic Games from 6–15 March. But beyond the sporting spectacle, the Games represent a broader narrative: one of cultural exchange, urban renewal, and the enduring power of the Olympic spirit.
Milan’s Olympic Moment
The city’s skyline is shifting, its neighbourhoods pulsing with new energy. As Milan prepares to host athletes, spectators, and global visitors, it’s embracing its role not just as a venue, but as a storyteller — showcasing Italy’s design heritage, hospitality, and innovation.
“Milano’s skyline is transforming, its neighbourhoods are vibrant with creativity, and its people share one mission: to welcome the world with the elegance, energy, and innovation that define Italy’s most international city,” reads the city’s celebratory statement marking the 100-day milestone.
More Than Sport: The Cultural Olympiad
The Games will be accompanied by a Cultural Olympiad — a programme of exhibitions, performances, and public art designed to highlight Italy’s creative legacy and contemporary voice. For business travellers and cultural enthusiasts alike, this offers a unique opportunity to engage with Milan’s artistic pulse while experiencing the global convergence of the Olympic movement.
Business Meets Experience
For corporate travellers, the Milano Cortina 2026 Games present more than a sporting itinerary. With Milan’s world-class infrastructure, luxury hospitality, and proximity to alpine escapes, the event offers a compelling blend of business and leisure. From rooftop receptions to design-led networking venues, the city is positioning itself as a hub for meaningful connection and elevated experience.
