As anticipation builds for the 2026 Winter Olympics, the picturesque town of Cortina d’Ampezzo prepares to welcome visitors to this global sporting spectacle. Local residents and second homeowners have a unique opportunity to secure tickets through a prioritized access program. This initiative not only offers the chance
to experience thrilling competitions but also highlights the rich cultural heritage of this Alpine destination.
Exclusive ticketing program for residents
The ticketing initiative, officially named Ticketing Residenti Host Venues Montane, will launch on November 11, 2025. This program provides a 24-hour window for residents and second homeowners to purchase tickets before they become available to the general public. Participants can access the dedicated online platform using a unique
link and personal code.
How to obtain your personal access code
Residents seeking to participate in this exclusive ticketing opportunity must visit the Casa Fondazione Cortina at Piazza Roma 4 to collect their personal access codes. This process will occur on specific dates: November 8 and November 11. Individuals can retrieve their codes between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM, and from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It is essential to bring a valid identification document to complete this step.
Ticket purchase details and guidelines
The ticket pre-sale is open to all residents and owners of secondary properties in Cortina d’Ampezzo who are at least 16 years old. Minors may attend events under tickets purchased by their parents or legal guardians. The pre-sales period will run from 10:00 AM on November 11 until 9:59 AM the following day, providing a valuable opportunity to secure prime seating for highly anticipated Olympic events.
Supporting the local community
Participating in this ticketing program offers residents a unique chance to engage with the winter Olympic Games while strengthening their local community. The event not only showcases elite athletic talent but also highlights the distinctive allure of Cortina d’Ampezzo, known as the Queen of the Dolomites.
Access considerations during the Olympics
As the event nears, it is essential to address access to various areas in Cortina. Starting on November 7, 2025, a new system for managing vehicle passes will be introduced, which is vital for entering restricted traffic zones (ZTL) during the Olympics. These zones will be established by the municipalities involved, including Cortina, to improve traffic flow and ensure safety.
How to request vehicle passes
Obtaining a vehicle pass is a simple process. Residents can enter their address on the designated platform to check if their area is subject to regulations. Two types of vehicle passes will be offered: a multi-day pass for continuous access and a daily pass for occasional visitors. It is recommended to request passes in advance to ensure access.
Enhancements and upcoming events in Cortina
Preparations for the Olympics include significant upgrades to the ski jump facility in Predazzo. These enhancements are designed to improve athlete safety and performance, ensuring optimal conditions for competition. Preliminary tests have confirmed the effectiveness of these upgrades, making the venue ready for national events.
Italian championships set for Predazzo
Predazzo will host the Italian Championships in ski jumping and Nordic combined on December 23. This event marks a significant test for the newly renovated facility. It aims to contribute to the revitalization of Cortina, enhancing its reputation on the international sports stage. Local investments and collaborative efforts support the initiative.
