≡ MILAN CORTINA 2026 ≡
If you’re looking for a hospitality experience at the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, the prices are out as On Location, the International Olympic Committee’s hospitality provider, posted a live order form on Friday (29th).
There are lots of options, not only for sports and sessions, but for programs including hotels, and in some locations, choices of “classic” hospitality or “premium” hospitality lounges. There is also an off-site hospitality option, with access to an in-town “Clubhouse 26″ instead of on-site hospitality.
But strictly in terms of sports and prices, here’s an overview, with starting prices varying by session (all of the different starting prices for each sport are shown; €1 = $1.05 U.S.):
Alpine Skiing:
● 10 sessions, starting at €1,500-2,000-2,500
Biathlon:
● 10 sessions, starting at €425-475
Cross Country Skiing:
● 10 sessions, starting at €750-850-900
Curling:
● 46 sessions, starting at €300-375-450-650
Figure Skating:
● 12 sessions, starting at €2,250-2,500-2,750-3,750-4,500
Freestyle Skiing:
● 19 sessions, starting at €750-800-850-1,500
Ice Hockey:
● 51 sessions, starting at €325-500-600-725-1,000-1,250-1,500-2,250-6,750
Short Track:
● 6 sessions, starting at €1,000-1,250-1,500
Ski Jumping:
● 6 sessions, starting at €1,250-1,500
Ski Mountaineering:
● 2 sessions, starting at €250
Snowboard:
● 13 sessions, starting at €800-900-950-1,000-1,100-1,200-1,250-1,750
Speed Skating:
● 12 sessions, starting at €600-675
As might be expected, the most expensive packages are for the ceremonies.
● Opening at the San Siro Stadium (75,817 capacity): starting at €7,750.
● Closing at the Arena di Verona (20,000 capacity): starting at €10,000.
There are no listings yet for the under-construction sliding track for Bobsled, Skeleton and Luge; those will undoubtedly come later.
The most expensive sports event by starting price is the men’s ice hockey final at €6,750, with the figure skating exhibition gala next at €4,500. The women’s ice hockey final is a comparative bargain at €1,500!
More choices will be available as the Winter Games get closer, but On Location has opened the doors for its first Winter Games with the IOC, after its debut as the official hospitality provider for Paris 2024.
