Winter Olympics 2026
Close Protection & Secure Transport for Winter Olympics 2026
The Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics will bring together millions of visitors, athletes, and officials across northern Italy from 6–22 February 2026, followed by the Winter Paralympics in March.
With a surge in arrivals expected across Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, and neighbouring Alpine venues, travel logistics and security planning require expert preparation.
Solace Global’s Winter Olympics Security Solution is designed to support organisations, delegates, and business travellers attending or operating around the Games. It delivers end-to-end journey management and close protection services backed by intelligence, field experience, and 24/7 monitoring designed for high-profile events in complex environments.
Why the Winter Olympics in Italy Present Unique Security Challenges
- Cyber and opportunistic crime: An increase in scams and theft targeting tourists and high-profile visitors is likely.
- Transport and infrastructure challenges: Ongoing construction delays, coupled with adverse winter weather, may cause intermittent disruption to road and rail networks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What risks should we be preparing for when sending our people to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy?
The Winter Olympics present a mix of logistical, political, and environmental risks. These include civil demonstrations linked to sustainability concerns, opportunistic crime targeting visitors, transport disruption due to infrastructure delays or weather, and the elevated terrorism threat associated with major international events.
