    We meet at 9am in Les Contamines to take care of the final logistical details: ski touring and safety equipment hire. Once we're kitted out, it's off to a leisurely start with a hike up to Mont Truc, a summit offering a fine view of the village and surrounding mountains.


    This gently-paced first day is ideal for getting to grips with the equipment, from skis to safety gear (avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe).


    Once you've reached the summit, it's time for your first descent on skis, under the guidance of your guide, to enjoy the pleasures of skiing in untracked snow.


    At the end of the afternoon, return to the village for a convivial evening in a cosy gîte.

Frequently asked questions

What if I need to hire ski touring equipment?

If you don't have your own ski touring equipment (touring skis, skins, knives, poles), all you have to do is select the "I hire my own ski touring equipment" option at the next stage of your booking. Once you've registered, we'll send you a form to fill in with your height and weight to reserve the appropriate ski touring equipment, which you can then collect from the local shop with your guide on the first day of the expedition.

How comfortable will the accommodation be?

This is a roaming expedition, so you'll sleep in different accommodation every night. The first night you will sleep in a cosy chalet, the second in a mountain hut and the last in a comfortable gîte. Every night you will sleep in a shared room in a single bed with a blanket provided. You'll also have access to showers and toilets on site.

Will there be showers on site?

Yes, you will have access to shared sanitary facilities (shower rooms) in the two accommodations where you will be sleeping.

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.
