Winter Olympics 2026 Motorhome Guide
Planning a trip to the Winter Olympics 2026? With events spread across northern Italy, this game is built for travelling, differing from every other Olympics. Hiring a motorhome gives you the freedom to move between venues, keep warm in your own space, and turn your Olympic itinerary into a proper winter road trip – with the Dolomites, Alpine villages and Italian cities all within reach.
Below is our practical, Winter Olympics 2026 motorhome guide, including where to base yourself, what to expect at each location and how to make the most out of it.
Why A Motorhome Works Brilliantly For The Winter Olympics
The 2026 games aren’t limited to one location, with events taking place across multiple places, from Milan to Cortina d’Ampezzo and across the Valtellina and Trentino areas. A motorhome allows you to see all you want to see from the Olympics without constantly repacking, checking in and out, relying on late night transfers and minimum stay rules.
Key benefits:
- A warm base between competitions: make hot drinks, dry kit and take breaks without hunting for cafes.
- Flexibility across venues: follow the events you’ve got tickets for rather than get tickets for events near hotels you can get into.
- Cost control: one booking covers transport & accommodation, with cooking facilities too.
- Comfort for groups: ideal for families & friends travelling together.
Suggested Route & What To Expect
If you’re aiming for a balanced trip, many travellers will find this order practical:
- Milan (opening atmosphere & city culture)
- Bormio/Livigno (high altitude sport & mountains)
- Tesero/Predazzo (Nordic events & Alpine towns)
- Cortina d’Ampezzo (Dolomites)
- Anterselva/Antholz (biathlon)
- Verona (historic finale in Roman amphitheatre making it a UNESCO city)
Campsite Tips For Motorhomes

- Electric hook ups
- Heated shower/toilet blocks
- Easy winter access
- Proximity to shuttle routes or public transport
- On site drying rooms or laundry

Valtellina: Bormio & Livigno
- Area Sosta Camper Bormio – A motorhome stop close to lifts & town services, convenient ‘ski & sleep’ style base

- Winter tyres & snow chains supplied

- Designed to cope with sub-zero nights & mountain roads

- Plan your route by zone – group events by area (e.g. Livigno & Bormio together)
- Check campsite facilities – heated sanitary blocks, good electricity supply & easy access to ski buses or lifts
- Know the tunnel & pass options – e.g. Livigno is accessed via the Munt La Schera tunnel in winter, with specific tolls for motorhomes.
