From May 7 to 13, 2026, Pantelleria will host a major international sporting event thanks to its collaboration with World Orienteering Week, the world's largest orienteering event.
This prestigious event will bring athletes, enthusiasts, and visitors from various countries to the island, promoting Pantelleria as an ideal destination for sports and outdoor tourism. With its volcanic landscapes, nature trails, rural districts, dry-stone walls, and the unique scenery of the Pantelleria Island National Park, the island represents the perfect setting for a discipline that combines movement, strategy, and exploration of the region.
Pantelleria Island is proud to be an official partner of the initiative and a key destination for tourism related to the event. Thanks to our experience in the destination, we will offer flight + accommodation packages, hotel and dammusi solutions, car rental services, transfers, and customized offers for participants, companions, and groups.
The presence of World Orienteering Week on Pantelleria represents an extraordinary opportunity to introduce the island to a dynamic and nature-loving international audience, further confirming the region's value as an authentic destination capable of hosting world-class events. Pantelleria is thus preparing to experience 2026 in the spirit of sport, energy, and discovery.
