  1. DAY1/ 2
    • Accommodation - portaledgeAccommodation·portaledge
    • Climbing - 6Climbing·6h

    We arrive in Freyr at around 10am, where we'll meet Lolotte, our instructor for the weekend.

    The morning will be devoted to learning the technical aspects of rock climbing, according to each person's level. We'll have a chance to climb to put the theory into practice, before having lunch.

    In the early afternoon, we'll be given explanations relating to a night in a portaledge (hoisting, safety, installations, practical aspects, etc.).

    We'll then put what we've learned into practice, with the aim of creating our own cosy little nest high up in the air. The day will end with an aperitif and a meal shared together on the cliff.

Frequently asked questions

I don't have any climbing experience, can I take part?

Yes, of course. Having climbing experience is a plus, but not compulsory. All we ask is that you feel physically and, above all, mentally capable of facing the void. Sleeping at height isn't for everyone!

What about insurance for rock climbing?

Insurance for rock climbing is included in the price of your expedition.

What is a portaledge?

According to wikipedia 😜 : "A portaledge, also known as a wall tent, is a hanging system designed for climbers who spend several days and nights on long routes. An assembled portaledge is a fabric platform framed by a metal frame; this frame is attached to a belay point by means of adjustable straps."

I don't have any climbing equipment. Is that serious, Doctor?

No problem if you don't have any climbing equipment: we'll provide you with all the equipment you need to climb and sleep on the cliffs in complete safety. However, if you do have climbing equipment, we strongly recommend that you take it with you!

What do I need to sleep in a portaledge?

All technical and safety equipment will be provided. All you need to bring is your bivouac equipment (sleeping bag, mattress, clothes suited to the weather).

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 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 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.

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.
  • 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.
