The toughest international sled dog race

La Grande Odyssee

La Grande Odyssée Savoie Mont Blanc is, since the first edition in January 2005, the toughest international sled dog race in the world because of the topography of the mountain it covers. Each year the race brings together 20 of the best mushers in the world. Together with their Alaskan and Siberian Huskies, they stride 900km (about 560 miles) in Savoie and Haute Savoie and climb over 25 000 m.
