Uber has launched a free snowmobile tour service for Olympic spectators in Cortina d'Ampezzo, offering weekend excursions to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located 23 kilometres from the Olympic venues. The "Uber Snowmobile" service, bookable exclusively through Uber's app, runs throughout February during the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Tours include transport via Uber bus to the departure point, followed by a guided one-hour snowmobile journey reaching speeds up to 40 kilometres per hour through snow-covered terrain. The service is operated through Cortina-based Snowdreamers, led by Olympic torchbearer Giulia Baffetti. Initial booking slots filled quickly, prompting Uber to add additional capacity. The seven-kilometre route showcases the dramatic Dolomites limestone peaks and includes a loop around Lake Antorno.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said deliveries could be crucial to making robotaxis financially viable, suggesting autonomous vehicles on Uber's network could switch between ride-hailing and delivery services as demand fluctuates throughout the day. Speaking on Uber's fourth-quarter earnings call, Khosrowshahi argued that combining ride-hailing with Uber's food delivery and freight businesses would allow higher vehicle utilisation than competitors. Uber's delivery segment grew 29% in the fourth quarter, outpacing its 18% ride-hailing growth. Uber is partnering with companies like Waymo to integrate self-driving cars into its app and collaborating with Nvidia to train autonomous vehicle AI using data from human drivers. The company recently launched AV Labs to support these efforts, aiming to improve reliability following incidents like Waymo's San Francisco service suspension.
