Mountain Climbing
Sign up or log in to access this feature
We set off from Le Cugnon (1180 m), in the heart of Les Contamines-Montjoie, to begin a sustained ascent of 1500 metres, which will take around 5 hours. The first part passes through a beautiful forest, where the light filters through the branches, providing a cool, soothing backdrop to the Tré la Tête Mountain hut, where we take a well-deserved break.
From here, the path climbs more steeply over more technical terrain, alternating between valleys and alpine clearings, requiring concentration and a measured pace. We adapt our pace to the group in this more mineral atmosphere, before setting up camp at altitude.
The evening is spent in a quiet Mountain hut, facing the peaks, to prepare our bodies and minds for the following day.
We set off from the Mountain hut at dawn, around 5am, to take advantage of the cool, stable conditions. The route begins with an ascent of the Tré la Tête glacier, where snow and ice shape the landscape. At 3559 metres, we reach the Col des Dômes, where the view opens out onto the surrounding ridges.
We continue across the exposed but accessible Dômes de Miage ridge to the Aiguille de la Bérangère (3425m). Here, the morning light illuminates the mountain pastures and coombs below, signalling the end of our route.
The descent to the Mountain hut is a leisurely one. We end the day relaxing, sharing our experiences and preparing for the next stage of our expedition.
In the morning, we leave the Mountain hut to begin the descent to Les Contamines-Montjoie. The path follows the same trajectory as on the outward journey, passing through sparse forests and alpine meadows where the pace of the group naturally eases. The morning light filters through the foliage, highlighting the gentle relief of the surrounding valleys.
On the way, we take regular breaks to observe the gradually widening valley, the mild weather making this last stage easier.
Arrival at the village marks the end of this adventure, with a mixed feeling of tiredness and satisfaction, as everyone savours the return to civilian life and new-found comfort.

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.
