The guides who will lead your adventure

Guide Raphael - Mountain leader (AMM)

Raphael

Mountain leader (AMM)
FrenchFrench
EnglishEnglish

Being able to live adventurously and outdoors is something that's always been on my mind... After completing my 'traditional' studies and entering the world of work, I quickly realised that it wasn't for me. So, after 5 years in a design office, I changed direction and became a guide in as many disciplines as I could: mountain guide, river guide, climbing and mountain-biking instructor.

Superbe aventure :)
Magnifique expérience ! Avec marc, un expert dans ce domaine.
Super expérience ! J'ai appris beaucoup pendant ce stage de survie.Seule point à améliorer: la liste d'équipements n'est pas tout à fait correcte et la liste diffère entre la version NL et FR.
J'ai passé un week-end avec des amis à faire un stage de survie! Un mélange parfait de théorie et de pratique, dans une ambiance conviviale. Je recommande à fond et j'ai hâte de tester d'autres expériences !
Superbe stage. Enrichissant tant au niveau des techniques de survie que sur le plan humain. Il a répondu a toutes mes attentes et il m'a surtout donné l'envie d'aller plus loin. Je remercie toute l'équipe pour leur dynamisme, bonne humeur et les connaissances qu'ils nous ont partagés. A bientôt pour le niveau 2 !

Frequently asked questions

Is the holiday suitable for beginners?

Yes! No experience of camping or survival skills is required. This trip is designed to teach you the basics of survival in the great outdoors in a supportive and gradual learning environment.

What are the nights like?

You’ll sleep under a tarp both nights, and you’ll learn to pitch it yourself with the guide’s advice. You’ll spend your nights surrounded by nature, with no toilet facilities or modern comforts, for a truly immersive experience.

Are children allowed?

Yes, children aged 14 and over are welcome, provided they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, dogs are welcome on this adventure!

What should I do if I don’t have all the necessary equipment?

You can hire a sleeping kit – comprising a rucksack, sleeping bag and sleeping mat – for the three days at a cost of €20, payable directly on site.

Are instalment payment options available?

Yes, that's right! At checkout, you can choose the Alma option to pay for your booking in 2x, 3x or 4x. All you have to do is select Alma at checkout and follow the instructions. It's simple, fast and secure.

Can I privatise this expedition for my group?

Yes, all our expeditions can be privatised for a group already formed, on the dates of your choice.

To make your request, go to the expedition that interests you and click on "Privatise the expedition". We'll take care of the rest!

What kind of people usually join Wildhartt expeditions ?

You don’t need to be a top athlete or adventure expert to feel at home. Most Wildhartt participants are between 25 and 60 years old, with a balanced mix of women and men.


Many join solo or in small groups of two or three. They often live in cities and are looking for a meaningful break — some time to reconnect with nature, slow down, and enjoy something real.


They usually have a regular movement practice (hiking, running, yoga...), but not with a competitive mindset. They’re in good shape, but don’t necessarily have technical skills. What brings them together is a shared desire to disconnect, observe, learn, and experience nature in a more grounded, accessible way.


If that speaks to you, you'll feel right at home. The group spirit is kind and open, and the pace adapts to everyone.

What happens if the weather is bad?

At Wildhartt, nature is our playground, rain or shine. Rain, snow or wind: our guides adapt the itinerary, activities and accommodation to guarantee you the best possible experience.
Unless safety is at stake (storm, avalanche, flood...).


In this exceptional case, we can cancel an expedition, at least one week before departure.
If this happens:
→ You can postpone your adventure at no cost,
→ Or receive a full refund.

What does the price of a Wildhartt adventure include?

At Wildhartt, transparency is essential. The price of your expedition reflects a clear breakdown of costs:

  • 30% for our guides, the mainstays of every adventure.
  • 35% for accommodation and meals, essential for your comfort.
  • 10% for equipment and transport, to guarantee safety and fluidity.
  • 24% for organisation and logistics, from first contact to the end of the expedition.
  • 1% for the rewilding of Europe, a concrete commitment to give back to nature what it gives us.

Our priority: to offer you a quality experience, with complete clarity.
