La Grande Odyssée Savoie Mont Blanc: An Unforgettable Winter Adventure with Clévacances
Every winter, Savoie and Haute-Savoie are transformed into a white fairytale setting for La Grande Odyssée Savoie Mont Blanc, one of the biggest sled dog events in Europe. More than just a sporting competition, it's an open-air extravaganza, combining the thrill of surpassing your limits, the beauty of the Alpine landscapes and a warm atmosphere. And to experience this adventure in the best possible conditions, Clévacances offers you a selection of comfortable, authentic accommodation within a stone's throw of the race stages.
A Mythical Race in the Heart of the Alps
Since 2005, the Grande Odyssée has brought together mushers from all over the world to tackle more than 400km of snow-covered trails through the Savoyard massifs. This extraordinary challenge, spread over several stages, passes through the most beautiful resorts in the northern Alps: Les Gets, Megève, Samoëns, Bessans, Pralognan-la-Vanoise and Val Cenis. Each day, the carriages face the cold, the uneven terrain and the powder snow, and amaze the public.
