Passionate about the mountains, I discovered climbing in the Bouches-du-Rhône before diving into ski touring in the Ecrins. Since then, I've explored various mountain ranges, from Mont Blanc to Dévoluy, in search of pleasure and sharing. For me, the mountains are all about human adventure and working together on projects.

Hi, I'm August, and I've been guiding in the far north of Norway for over 8 years. Skiing in front of the sea, under the northern lights, or simply enjoying nature, that's what makes me tick.

Super expérience ! Nous avons fait le sommet du Grand Paradis et tout était trop bien organisé. Le guide Marco a été incroyable et nous a emmenée au sommet ! Merci encore à toute l’équipe Wildhartt, à Marco et à toutes notre team ❤️
Excellente expérience de la réservation initiale jusqu’a la fin du séjour.Communication facile avec un interlocuteur privilégié (messagerie ou appel téléphonique). Par manque de personnes pour la date initiale, l’agence a réorganisé avec flexibilité notre voyage.Une semaine avant le voyage la mise en place d’un groupe whatsapp incluant le guide a facilité les préparatifs.Le groupe a été vraiment sympathique (franco-belge) réuni autour de la même passion de la découverte du ski alpinisme.Malgré que l’agence soit belge et loin des montagnes, le guide engagé était bel et bien un local connaissant très bien son métier.
Super experience avec cette organisation. Top guide et top destinations
De retour d'expédition ski de rando autour du col du grand st Bernard, des paysages magnifiques, des refuges au top , de bons petits plats réconfortants suite aux efforts, groupe tres sympathique, à refaire, vraiment enchantée !
Un grand merci pour cette expédition, tout a été parfaitement organisé, avec des adaptations de dernières minutes vis à vis des conditions pas évidentes. Amadeo notre guide nous accompagné pendant ces 4 jours, nous a partagé son savoir, il nous a fait découvrir des itinéraires différents tous les jours et c’était magique 😍 je ne peux que vous recommander à 100% de partir à l’aventure avec Wildhartt !!

What if I don't have my own ski touring equipment?

If you don't have your own ski touring equipment, don't panic! We can hire it for you. All you have to do is select the "Ski touring equipment hire" package at the next stage of your booking.

What equipment should we pack in our rucksack?

Once your registration has been confirmed, we'll send you a personalised roadbook for your trip containing all the practical information you need, including a list of equipment you'll need to take.

Are instalment payment options available?

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 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.

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 brea 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.

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

  • 35% for accommodation and meals, essential for your comfort.
  • 10% for equipment and transport, to guarantee safety and fluidity.
  • 25% 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.
