  • Tips
    WARNING: On this route, you may encounter livestock guard dogs tasked with protecting herds from wolf attacks.
    To minimize the risk of conflict, bringing pets is strongly discouraged, even if they are on a leash.
    Cyclists, please be especially vigilant: upon seeing a herd, you must get off your bike, stop, and allow the dogs to assess you. Then, give the herd a wide berth, keeping your bike between you and the guard dog.

    In any case, remain calm, avoid sudden movements, and do not attempt to cross through the herd.

    Avoid during stormy weather
    Give herds a wide berth. If guard dogs are present, stop, stay calm, and do not threaten or pet them.
