Frequently asked questions

Are dogs allowed on this expedition?

Despite our immense love of dogs at Wildhartt, they are not welcome in the area where we are leading this expedition.

Are you organising a rucksack service?

No, you will be self-sufficient throughout the expedition. However, your rucksack should weigh between 5 and 7 kg maximum, as you will be sleeping in comfortable gîtes where blankets, pillows and sheets will be provided.

Can children take part in this expedition?

Children accompanied by an adult are welcome.

What equipment should we take with us?

Once your registration has been confirmed, we'll send you a full list of the equipment you'll need. Bear in mind that you'll be sleeping in comfortable stopover gîtes every night, so all you'll need is a rucksack with the bare essentials [clothes, sun cream, sunglasses, maps, etc].

What if I can't get to the meeting point by 9am?

It is possible to take out an option to arrive the day before departure and spend the night at the gîte. You can select this option at the next stage of the booking process.

⛈ What happens if the metreo is wrong?

If the weather is bad but does not represent a danger to participants during the expedition, the activity will continue. If the weather becomes dangerous, the activity will be cancelled and replaced by an alternative offered by our professional guides.

What is included in the price of a DiscoveRent shipment?

At Wildhartt, we attach particular importance to price transparency for our shipments. Our approach is based on a clear breakdown of costs, aimed at providing a better understanding of the elements included in the total amount. Here's how we allocate the percentages:

  • 30% for our guides: We believe that our experienced guides play a crucial role in the success of each activity. That's why we make sure we allocate a significant proportion to pay for their expertise and supervision.
  • 35% for accommodation and food: We consider comfortable accommodation and quality food to be essential elements of an enriching experience.
  • 10% for equipment and transport: The safety and comfort of our participants is paramount. With this part of the total amount, we can guarantee that the equipment required is in excellent condition and adequate for each activity. Transport costs also come into play when they are essential during an expedition.
  • 25% for expedition participation and running costs: These costs cover the logistical, administrative and organisational aspects of the expedition, as well as the overall management of the experience, from start to finish.

Our aim is to provide you with a trustworthy, high-quality experience, while being transparent about how the final cost of your shipment is shared. If you have any further questions about our prices, please contact us here.


Can I privatise this expedition for my group?
