Against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and an enchanting forest, these brave competitors are about to test their skills and endurance in one of Europe's most prestigious races. As the sun begins to rise, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape, we catch a glimpse of silhouettes moving through the cold morning air. The dogs eagerly await their command, their breath visible in the crisp winter air. It is a moment frozen in time that captures both beauty and determination. The image showcases not only the physical challenge but also highlights the deep bond between human and animal.
