La Grande Odyssée Royal Canin

The polar adventure to the summit

Since 2005, the Royal Canin Grande Odyssée has established itself as one of Europe’s most spectacular dog sled races. Every winter, against the magnificent backdrop of the Alps, more than 65 mushers and nearly 600 elite dogs set off on a true odyssey covering 400 km, with a total elevation gain of 12,000 metres.

This vibrant and unifying, legendary race attracts more than 60, 000 spectators every year, spread across some twenty resorts and villages in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, which are transformed for the occasion into hubs of celebration and excitement.

This latest edition of La Grande Odyssée Royal Canin promises a unique blend of nature, emotion and thrills, where passion, endurance and the bond between man and animal are experienced in all their glory.
