Airbnb, a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, has announced a new collection of experiences for fans during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games. Starting November 18, guests can book Airbnb Experiences with 26 Olympians and Paralympians from seven countries and fifteen sports disciplines. These athletes collectively hold 67 medals.
The initiative offers opportunities to interact with both active and retired athletes before, during, and after the Games. Activities will take place in locations such as Bormio, Milan’s arenas, and the Dolomites in Cortina. The experiences include participatory events like cooking classes, skiing sessions, skating lessons, as well as attending finals alongside champions.
Some featured experiences include shopping in Milan with freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, a spa day with Olympian Dorothea Wierer, skating with Arianna Fontana, watching figure skating finals with Nathan Chen, dining or training with para biathlete Dani Aravich and para ice hockey player Andrea Macrì. According to Airbnb, each activity is designed to “invite guests to share the passion, determination and spirit of inclusion that define the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
Experiences are available for booking at $30 per person at airbnb.com/milanocortina2026. They will run from February through March 2026.
Jamie Anderson, three-time Olympian and two-time gold medalist in snowboarding, will host guests at Livigno Snow Park for the halfpipe finals on February 12 and 13. “From exclusive terrace seats, guests will experience the thrill of the Olympic and Paralympic Games alongside one of the sport’s all-time greats,” Airbnb stated. Anderson will also discuss her views on sustainability and wellness.
Gus Kenworthy will guide participants through a visit to the Milano Cortina 2026 Megastore followed by a city stroll in Milan. Airbnb described this as “an authentic experience celebrating fashion, sport, and the Olympic spirit.”

Paralympian Dani Aravich is set to host an evening in Milan featuring dinner at a trattoria followed by decorating cowboy hats inspired by her Montana roots. Airbnb noted that “through stories and laughter Dani will share the energy and passion that took her from a corporate career to achieving her Paralympic dream.”
