What you will experience

Take on the Tour des Écrins, a wild, self-propelled trek through the heart of one of France's largest Alpine massifs, crossing glaciers, secret valleys and high-altitude villages.
Cross the Plateau d'Emparis, France's highest alpine pasture plateau, amid whistling marmots and head-on views of the Meije glaciers.
Walk the balcony trail above the Combe de Malaval, with a 1,000 m drop beneath your feet and birds of prey soaring overhead.
Reach the Arsine lakes (2,546 m), with their milky turquoise waters nestled at the foot of a glacial cirque dominated by the Agneaux.
Spend the night facing the Meije glaciers, on a terrace suspended above the valley, drink in hand as the sun sets.
Pass through the hamlet of Le Chazelet and discover its unique Alpine architecture.

    We meet at 10am for a friendly welcome drink, followed by a briefing on the adventure ahead and a gear check.

    This first stage, ideal for getting into the swing of things, begins on an exposed path overlooking the lake. Gradually, we join the GR54C through vegetation that is surprisingly southern for the altitude on this sun-drenched slope. The path continues along a balcony to the charming Lac du Lovitel, the first lookout point for the high peaks of the Oisans region.

    A final climb takes us to the Mountain hut des Clots, where Didier will welcome us. In this authentic mountain atmosphere, we enjoy a well-deserved rest. Nearby, the stream and its small pools invite you to refresh your feet, while the hammock and the last rays of the sun offer a perfect moment of relaxation before dinner.

Un immense merci à Laura, notre guide, qui a fait de notre circuit au Mont Viso quatre jours exceptionnels dans des paysages spectaculaires. Le moment fort a sans aucun doute été l'ascension du Viso Mozzo à 5 heures du matin pour admirer le lever du soleil sur la vallée du Pô. Merci à Laura de nous avoir fait lever si tôt !
super organisation, avant, pendant, et après. une guide superbe à qui on doit le respect pour son professionnalisme et son empathie. superbe randonnée
Une superbe expérience, de beaux paysages, un guide qui s'adapte. Je recommande ce séjour
J'ai beaucoup apprécié que cette rando se fasse en petit groupe, nous étions 6, pour moi c'est parfait. Le niveau proposé correspond tout à fait à ce que je m'attendais. Pour ma première vraie rando, Bruno notre guide, a su suffisamment me conseiller et soutenir le groupe surtout le 2ème jour où nous avons rencontré un bel orage dans les hauteurs des Vosges. Ce fut une belle expérience que je suis prête à poursuivre.
Bonjour, Je m'appelle Isabelle M. Je suis très satisfaite de cette aventure. Nous avons eu un excellent guide, à l'écoute et très prévenant envers nous. Ce fut une très belle expérience, avec un circuit bien organisé et un hébergement en auberge agréable. Je recommande cette aventure sans hésitation.

Frequently asked questions

Will I have to carry a rucksack on the various hikes?

Yes, we don't plan to carry any vehicles, so you'll have to carry your rucksack as we'll be sleeping in different accommodation every night. However, the Mountain huts will provide blankets and pillows, and you'll be able to use the accommodation's kitchen every night. So you won't have to carry any food or sleeping equipment, with the exception of a meat bag.

How comfortable are the rooms?

The gîtes offer a certain level of comfort: you will sleep in a single bed in a room shared with the other participants. Blankets and pillows are provided, but it is advisable to bring a sleeping bag for reasons of hygiene.

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.
