The 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics will draw tens of thousands of visitors to Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, and surrounding Alpine venues as it soon kicks off in Italy.

From fake tickets and accommodation to unsafe public Wi-Fi and phishing messages, travelers need to stay alert well before they arrive and throughout their trip.
