Description

Over the years, La Grande Odyssée VVF has established itself as the meeting place for the mushers' elite. In 2025, the race will celebrate its 20th anniversary, when 65 mushers and their 600 top-level athlete dogs will set off for 14 days of racing, 400 km and 12,000 meters of ascent between Haute Savoie, Savoie and Isère.
The mass-start on the vast Bessans plateau is a must-see. The teams set off in a single line, with dozens of dogs stamping their feet, ready to fight it out to be the first to reach the end of the plateau.
This stage also passes through the neighboring resort of Bonneval sur Arc before arriving at the Col du Mont Cenis, at an altitude of 2,000 meters.
A great spectacle, with free entertainment in the start village.
