La Grande Odyssée is also the story of a dream. The dream of a great adventure that would cross our alpine massifs.

La Grande Odyssée is since it’s first edition in January 2005, the annual event of the dog sled race in Europe. It is the most demanding stage race in a unique alpine setting in the world
 
Each year it brings together more than 65 mushers and their 600 dogs, from all over Europe, in the stunning landscapes of Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
 
It is more than 50 000 spectators who live every year a unique experience, in 20 stations decorated for the occasion, by attending La Grande Odyssée.

 

 

The 22th edition will be held from January 10 to 22, 2026
