Airbnb Throughout Northern Italy
As an official Worldwide Partner of the International Olympic Committee, Airbnb is playing a central role in welcoming the world to Italy for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. To mark the Games, Airbnb has launched a dedicated microsite.

Presents on this Olympic page a range of lodging options designed for every need. You can get a ski chalet in Cortina d’Ampezzo, right on the snow, starting at around €1600 per night, an attic apartment with panoramic Dolomite views, from 800€ per night or a modern studio apartment in Milan, near San Siro or the Porta Venezia district, for about 120–140€ per night.
This initiative reinforces Airbnb’s mission to make global events more inclusive and sustainable, inviting travelers to “stay near the action” and hosts to open their doors to the world during one of the most anticipated celebrations in Italy’s history.
