    The adventure continues with a few more pedal strokes to Lake Bled, where a packraft session on the waters of this glacial lake will give you the chance to test out navigation with the bike on board, while enjoying a view of the island of Bled, home to the iconic 15th-century Church of the Assumption.


    The day's discovery of Packraft ends with an evening and overnight stay in a cosy inn.

Frequently asked questions

Will I have to carry heavy loads?

This is a touring adventure, which means you'll have all your gear with you when you go out in the packraft and when you cycle to your accommodation. The itinerary is designed to leave you as free as possible of your belongings on certain sections.

Where am I going to sleep?

You'll sleep in a range of private accommodation, carefully selected for its comfort and relaxing setting. Each accommodation has been chosen to offer a pleasant experience tailored to your group, with particular attention paid to the charm and authenticity of the surroundings. Depending on the stage, you'll be able to stay in typical, traditional accommodation steeped in local history, or in more modern, spacious spaces that guarantee maximum comfort after days of adventure.

How many per packraft?

Throughout the trip, you'll be sailing alone in your packraft. But don't worry, your guide will never be far away in case you run into any trouble!

What type of clothing should I bring?

To have the best possible expedition, it's important to bring clothing that's suited to the weather. Before you leave, you'll receive a roadbook with a checklist of the clothes you need to pack to help you prepare for the weekend.

Are there times set aside to visit certain iconic sites?

Our expeditions and the programme are carefully prepared in collaboration with your guide to offer you a great adventure. A structured itinerary is planned, but we also know that it's your holiday! Naturally, breaks are built in so that you can enjoy the scenery, catch your breath and savour the moment whenever you want.

What type of bike will I be using?

You'll have a gravel bike that's designed for both road and rough terrain. More comfortable than a road bike thanks to a more relaxed riding position, it's also more stable on varied terrain. Its wider tyres give it better grip on gravel and paths, while its sturdy frame means it can handle uneven terrain with ease. If you wish, you can also bring your own bike.

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.
