Originally from the Hautes-Vosges, I grew up surrounded by nature and developed a passion for the mountains and outdoor activities at a very early age. After a period competing in France and abroad, I now devote my time to my job as a mountain guide, sports coach and organiser of nature breaks. I regularly develop my skills around breath, well-being and movement. What motivates me most of all is sharing, transmitting and connecting with people, through experiences in the great outdoors.

What equipment do I need?

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.
