What are the values promoted by La Grande Odyssée?
To drive his team of dog the musher use only his/her voice to give directions and orders to the dogs. He has no whip, nothing else than days, weeks and years of work and training with dogs.
The only trace left by a sled in the trail is two parallel lines in the snow.
Harmony beetween men, nature and animal world is one of the value of La Grande Odyssée.
For these reasons, La Grande Odyssée has been choosen by company and governemental organization involved in sustainable development as
ADEME : Agence de l'Environnement et de la Maitrise de l'energie (www.ademe.fr) Governemental agency for environement protection and energy economy.
Eco Emballages : in charge of recycling policy (www.ecoemballages.fr)
La Grande Odyssée want to be the emblematic event of those who believe that we have some responsibility in the kind of world we are going to transmit to our children
