How To Get Around At The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games

The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with an area of over 8,494 square miles, will be the most widespread Games in history. To reach the competitions, it will be necessary to travel between cities and mountain areas. Understanding the connections across the territory may not be simple, so here is an overview of how to get around between the venues.

During the period of the Games many hotels will provide a privately managed shuttle service or assistance with local transportation. Public transportation services will also be made available with extended hours and increased frequency of trains, subways and local public transport. Additionally, the following options will be available in each mountainous region:

• Park & Ride, park-and-ride parking areas where it will be possible to leave your car + shuttle services. It will not be possible to park directly at the venues.
• Train & Ride, designated railway stations to reach the venues + shuttle services.

From the Park and Ride and Train and Ride areas, dedicated shuttles will be available to transport spectators directly to the venues, in line with the start and end times of the competitions.

The organization has also created the Transport Milano Cortina 2026 app (download Android – iOS) to help visitors check and plan routes and schedules, integrating trains, shuttles and local transport (ATM, Trenitalia, Trenord, Taxi). From the app it is also possible to book transportation tickets directly. The official Olympics website also provides a page with all the details on how to reach the individual venues.
