MILANO CORTINA 2026 AND ON LOCATION UNVEIL NEW PREMIUM OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES HOSPITALITY OFFERINGS, WITH LESS THAN ONE YEAR TO GO

MILAN, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Milano Cortina 2026 and On Location, the Official and Exclusive Hospitality Provider for the Olympic & Paralympic Games, have revealed their exclusive collection of new hospitality packages, which include official tickets, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 like never before. 

These packages, the first of their kind for the Olympic Winter Games, provide unique hospitality beyond the competition venues and allow fans a respite from weather conditions, and a place to continue celebrations when not attending a Winter Olympics sporting event. The packages include:

Clubhouse 26 Milano
Located in the heart of the city, Clubhouse 26 Milano will inhabit the historic Dazi venue. Originating in 1806 and rebuilt in 1838 in honor of Napoleon, this venue is now a meeting place that celebrates Milanese culture, blending tradition and innovation. This hospitality space offers traditional Italian aperitivo, and an exclusive Olympic-themed exhibition in collaboration with the Olympic Museum that will provide a unique hospitality experience blending Olympic heritage, culture, art, sport and entertainment. Clubhouse 26 Milano provides a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests. Packages for Clubhouse 26 Milano start at €200 (VAT excl.)

Clubhouse 26 Cortina
Nestled in the charming town of Cortina, the chalet-style lounge will take over the well-known, Ristorante 5 Torri. Steps from Corso Italia, Clubhouse 26 Cortina offers guaranteed access to Curling and women's Alpine Ski events, along with the same premium amenities as the Milan location, including aperitivo, a dedicated service team, and an Olympic-themed exhibition. Packages for Clubhouse 26 Cortina start at €225 (VAT excl.)

Clubhouse 26 Livigno
The destination provides a relaxing retreat before or after sporting sessions in Livigno, with guaranteed tickets to Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard events. Guests can enjoy the same premium hospitality offerings as the other Clubhouse 26 locations. Packages for Clubhouse 26 Livigno start at €325 (VAT excl.)

On Location's Clubhouse product debuted at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, with Clubhouse 24 in the iconic Palais de Tokyo. The offering was an instant success, by bringing thousands of fans closer than ever to the Olympic Games hospitality experience through live broadcasts of sporting events, interactive exhibits, and a partnership with the Olympic Museum, displaying their curation of historic memorabilia at Clubhouse 24.

For fans that want a convenient and elevated option, Olympic Winter Games Hospitality is also offering a Winter Essentials package. This package provides guaranteed Category C tickets to select Ice Hockey events at the Santa Giulia venue in Milan, along with priority access (depending on the venue), a sport-themed gift, privileged access to the Milano Cortina 2026 Megastore, and a convenient snack and drink option upon arrival. Winter Essentials packages start at €150 (VAT excl.), offering an affordable way to enjoy the thrill of the Winter Olympics with added convenience and exclusive benefits.

Guests will also enjoy world-class service and breathtaking views in the exclusive in-venue hospitality spaces for each of the 16 disciplines. For example, Olympic Winter Games Hospitality will take over the Tofane Lounge, located at the finish line of the Women's Alpine Ski event. Nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, the Tofane Lounge is set to redefine luxury and comfort at the Olympic Winter Games. Overlooking the breathtaking peaks of Cortina d'Ampezzo, no other sports venue gives guests this unique vantage point of the mountains and the sport at the same time.

The Olympic Winter Games Hospitality programme also offers popular Overnight packages which include accommodations for guests looking to enjoy high-quality lodging in quaint Italian villages and simplify travel across the region's stunning mountainous terrain. Each Overnight Package includes a ticket to an Olympic sporting event, paired with an array of in-venue hospitality options.

For all these locations, On Location has appointed well-known Italian chef and restaurateur Carlo Zarri as Culinary Director for Olympic & Paralympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Hospitality. Chef Zarri brings extensive global hospitality experience, having overseen culinary operations at several previous Olympic & Paralympic Games venues, including Salt Lake City 2002, Athens 2004, Torino 2006, and Vancouver 2010. A seasoned business owner, chef, and sommelier with a family legacy in hospitality, Chef Zarri will focus on showcasing the diverse culinary traditions of Northern Italy, incorporating regional specialties and ingredients from Milan, Valtellina, Cortina d'Ampezzo and Val di Fiemme into Official Hospitality menus. His expertise will ensure an exceptional and authentic hospitality experience for guests.
