The countdown to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics is on, with events spread across northern Italy’s Lombardy, Veneto, and Trentino regions. In South Tyrol’s Antholz Valley, a remote alpine area framed by the Dolomites, all biathlon events will take place, while Cortina d’Ampezzo will host the alpine competitions and Verona will provide a dramatic finale for the Games. Even if you’re not planning to attend the Olympics, these Italian winter rentals redefine “winter wonderland” and make for the perfect snowy escape.
