Swiss Post built a compact philately lineup around the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. The release uses a comic-strip-style layout that follows the rhythm of winter sport, from the start to the turns and the crowd energy. Swiss Post also credits designer Christoph Frei for the concept.
Swiss Post lists the issue in its “World of Stamps" program in January 2026. The stamp carries a CHF 1.20 face value for postal use as well as thematic collecting. Swiss Post positions the design as a modern Olympic souvenir that still works on real mail.
Swiss Post offers the motif in several collector-friendly formats. The shop includes a 10-stamp sheetlet with self-adhesive stamps, which gives a clean way to build an album page around one Olympic theme. The shop also includes a block of four for collectors who prefer a tighter presentation.
A collector can use these formats as a simple “Olympic set builder.” The collector picks the single CHF 1.20 stamp for a clean, minimal page. The collector picks the 10-stamp sheetlet when the collector wants repetition and visual rhythm in one album frame. The collector picks the block of four when the collector wants a compact centerpiece that still shows the full design idea. This choice structure keeps the topic focused on one Olympic issue and helps a thematic collection stay consistent.
Swiss Post also sells a First Day Cover that pairs the sheetlet with a first-day cancellation. Many collectors prefer that option because the envelope adds context, and the cancellation anchors the item to the official release period. Swiss Post groups these products under the same issue, which helps collectors keep one coherent “Olympics” section without mixing unrelated sports topics.
