Presentation

The Lekkarod is a long-distance stage race for sled dogs whose objectives are in line with a genuine philosophy for the sport of dog sledding.
Against the magnificent backdrop of the Alps, mushers from all over Europe gather for a competition centered on respect—respect for people, dogs, and nature.
Two types of events: sled racing and skijoring (a sport combining skiing with an animal-drawn team, practiced here with a sled dog).
Meet at Chamrousse 1650—Recoin on the snowfront for entertainment and at Le Vernon for race starts—and especially at the finish line on the Plateau de l’Arselle in Chamrousse 1600—the Nordic ski area!

Schedule for Monday, March 9, through Wednesday, March 11, 2026:
• Le Vernon parking lot (Chamrousse 1650):
- Ski-joëring event—ski-joëring starts
- Sledding event—sled team starts
• Finishes at the Plateau de l’Arselle (Chamrousse 1600) for the final leg of the race
Race route = connecting trail + Nordic ski area trail

While the spectacle provided by the sled dogs is both wonderful and filled with the deepest respect for the animals, it is everyone’s responsibility to understand and follow a few rules of conduct designed to ensure these canine athletes are not harmed.
