Winter sports fans have a unique opportunity to live an unforgettable experience in Cortina d’Ampezzo. Airbnb has launched an exclusive stay with Olympic curling champion Stefania Constantini, who will offer guests the chance to train and play with her and other members of the Italian team at the iconic Palazzetto del Ghiaccio, the venue for curling competitions at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

This stay, which will be available on Airbnb, will allow guests to not only hone their curling skills with Constantini’s guidance, but also enjoy the hospitality and alpine charm of Cortina d’Ampezzo. After an intense day on the ice, visitors can relax in a traditional chalet of the region, fully immersing themselves in the culture and mountain environment that will make Milano Cortina 2026 an unforgettable Games.

The Palazzetto del Ghiaccio, also known as Stadio Olimpico del Ghiaccio, has a remarkable Olympic history, having hosted the 1956 Cortina Games. Now, it will once again take center stage by hosting the curling events in 2026. Those interested in living this unrepeatable experience will be able to send their reservation request through Airbnb. Reservations will open on February 13, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (CET).
