I've been a mountain guide for around fifteen years now, and my passion for the mountains and nature in all its forms has led me to explore the Vosges massif. And of course, the idea is to be able to share with others in and around this magical environment. With a magnificent office like mine (even if the ceiling sometimes leaks 🙂 ), it would be a shame not to make the most of it!

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. Guiding is above all about sharing my passion and helping you discover places that are close to my heart, in a safe environment. Experiencing exceptional moments in the great outdoors is my raison d'être, and that's what I promise you when I accompany you.

⚠️ For this expedition, August may be replaced by another equally experienced guide, depending on availability. All our guides speak English, and many of them also speak French, to ensure you have an equally rewarding experience.

Randonnée de 3 jours dans les Vosges, avec nuit étoilée. Superbe expérience grâce à notre guide, Joseph, sa soif de connaissances, sa bonne humeur , son accordéon et son aptitude à s'adapter au groupe. Mille mercis à lui
Je reviens d'une randonnée itinérante dans les Vosges.L'organisation Wildhartt était au top, ils sont disponibles et à l écoute.La randonnée était au delà de mes espérances, notre guide François est un passionné, il nous a fait partager ses connaissances sur l'histoire de sa région ainsi que des explications sur la faune et la flore des Vosges.Il nous a emmené sur des sentiers exceptionnels situés entre forêts, cascades, lacs et sentiers sur les crêtes vosgiennes qui offre un panorama à couper le souffle.Je recommende vivement cette expédition.
Partis en rando-ânes en groupe réduit, nous avons pu bénéficier d’un guide exceptionnel qui par son implication, ses connaissances du milieu naturel et son expérience a rendu ce séjour de 5 jours dans les Cévennes inoubliable.
Aventure incroyable, mêlant nature, lien avec les ânes et randonnée. Le tout encadré par une guide permettant de profiter à fond de l expérience en toute sécurité. Nourriture dans les gîtes et bivouacs excellente, que des produits frais! Enfin, idéal pour les enfants qui ne voient pas les heures passées...
La très bonne préparation par Wildhartt et la qualité du guide qui nous a accompagné ont fait de ce tour des Dents du Midi une expérience réussie pour tout notre groupe: 4 jours de partage et de découverte dans un cadre montagneux splendide. Je vous le recommande vivement !

Frequently asked questions

Will we have to carry our rucksack the whole way?

No, you’ll only need your things for the day; you can leave your large rucksack at the Mountain hut during the day, so you only need to take the essentials with you

How comfortable is the Mountain hut?

For this expedition, you will sleep for 2 nights in a comfortable Mountain hut in a shared room for 4 or 5 people. You'll be provided with a blanket, pillow, electrical sockets and private access to a bathroom and toilet facilities.

How is on-site transport organised?

Each participant must provide a vehicle for short transfers. Car-pooling between group members is encouraged for greater conviviality and convenience.

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 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 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.
  • 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.
