Experiencing Winter Olympic Sports Beyond the Games
Where Winter Olympic Sports Come to Life
As the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina 2026 approach, attention naturally turns to snow-covered mountains, frozen landscapes and the winter sports that define winter at its most extreme.
To experience these winter Olympic sports yourselves, Pelorus can design luxury winter sports experiences for you and your group.
Iconic winter disciplines experienced properly
Some winter Olympic sports are instantly recognisable, even to those who only watch them every four years. Yet seeing them in competition reveals very little about how they feel to experience.
Alpine skiing, for example, is defined by far more than speed. Terrain, snow quality and line choice shape every descent. In the great mountain ranges of the world, from the Alps to the Rockies, skiing becomes an exercise in reading the landscape rather than racing against it.
Nordic disciplines such as cross-country skiing and biathlon offer a different rhythm altogether. Endurance, efficiency and mental focus take precedence, creating experiences that are immersive and quietly demanding rather than overtly dramatic.
Luxury winter sports experiences beyond the Games include ice climbing, freestyle skiing, ski touring, snowboarding, biathlon, alpine skiing and winter mountaineering.
Luxury winter sports experiences beyond the Games
Ice Climbing
Frozen waterfalls and ice faces transform winter landscapes into vertical terrain. With specialist guides, ice climbing becomes a controlled and deeply absorbing way to engage with cold environments.
Freestyle Skiing
Disciplines such as slopestyle, big air and halfpipe have become some of the most watched events at the Winter Olympics.
Ski Touring
Moving beyond lift systems, ski touring opens access to untouched terrain and high mountain environments. It rewards patience, preparation and an understanding of snow and weather.
Snowboarding
From park riding to freeride terrain, snowboarding blends athleticism with expression. The environments that support it, wide-open bowls, sculpted parks and natural features, are as important as the board itself.
Biathlon
Combining sustained physical effort with precision and composure, biathlon is often misunderstood until experienced first-hand. Adapted training environments reveal just how mental this discipline truly is.
Alpine Skiing
From long, technical descents in the Alps to expansive terrain in North America, alpine skiing reveals how closely performance is tied to landscape. Away from competition, the focus shifts to flow, terrain awareness and snow conditions.
Winter Mountaineering
Winter mountaineering strips travel back to its essentials, movement, decision-making and awareness. It offers a foundational understanding of how people navigate extreme cold and altitude.
Where these winter sports come to life
These winter Olympic sports can be experienced first-hand in the landscapes that shaped them.
From the Dolomites and the Americas to the remote summits of Antarctica, Pelorus can create luxury winter sports experiences across some of the world's most extreme cold-weather environments.
Step inside the disciplines themselves, guided by those who live and work in these environments year-round.
