The opinions of our participants who have placed their trust in us

Frequently asked questions

Can I charge my devices on the route?

Yes, you'll be able to recharge your phone and battery on the first two evenings in the gîtes, but on the third evening, at the bergerie de Chaumailloux, there's no electricity, which is also part of its charm. If you want to keep your phone or camera operational, remember to take an external battery.

What if I'm afraid of heights?

Don't worry: there are no technical or exposed sections on this expedition. Some sections run along ridges, but always on wide, safe paths, with the guide at your side. If you're comfortable in the mountains and able to walk for several hours with a change in altitude, you'll be able to enjoy the views to the full without stress.

What equipment should I bring?

Once you've registered, you'll receive a full packlist several weeks before departure. You'll also be able to chat directly with your guide to ask questions and make sure you have everything you need. There's nothing complicated about it: good shoes, a comfortable bag and a desire for adventure are all you need to get started!

Is it necessary to provide cash for Mountain huts?

Yes, remember to take some cash with you. Cards are not always accepted in mountain huts and inns. If you need to buy a drink, mineral water or something extra, bring a few notes and coins with you before you go up. Ideally, you should withdraw some money in town before setting off. Everything else (meals, accommodation, guiding) is already taken care of.

How are we going to get water?

Your guide will point out several sources of drinking water along the way. The gîtes and sheepfolds also have water points. In general, you'll be able to fill your water bottle every day without difficulty, so there's no need to carry too much weight.

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.
