We'll meet at 10 a.m. at the Col de la Faucille, where we'll meet the participants and brief the guide.
On your first day, you'll be exploring the Haut-Jura mountain range. The trail begins on a balcony, offering, weather permitting, an unobstructed view of Lake Geneva and the Alps. The terrain is gentle but very present, perfect for a gradual introduction to roaming.
Enjoy a picnic on the ridge, a quiet spot where birds of prey are often seen in flight. The stage then continues downhill towards Lélex, then into the Valserine valley to reach the gîte where you spend the night.
After breakfast at the gîte, you leave the Valserine valley and head up the opposite side. The gradual climb takes you up to the Hautes-Combes, a typical Jura area of open high meadows and quiet forests.
This day, shorter than the day before, gives you time to catch your breath. On the way, you'll pass through Jura forests renowned for their biodiversity: the guide will help you spot some local tree species and, with a bit of luck, animal tracks.
At the end of the afternoon, you'll arrive at an isolated gîte in the heart of a small combe, a simple and peaceful place, ideal for enjoying a gentle late afternoon.
This morning, you'll be enjoying an original experience: cani-hiking with Jérémy, a professional musher, giving you the chance to discover a different, more dynamic and particularly fun way of walking.
To make this activity enjoyable for everyone, your gear will be transported in a vehicle and you'll be walking light all morning.
At the end of the morning, you'll reach the Borne au Lion, a remarkable viewpoint and a place steeped in history. The guide will explain the importance of this marker in the historical demarcation of the area.
In the afternoon, you continue the stage without the dogs to climb the Crêt de Chalam, the emblematic summit of the southern Jura. The climb is gradual, and the panoramic view from the summit gives you a bird's eye view of the whole massif.
The hike ends at La Pesse, where a taxi will be waiting at 3pm to take you back to the cars (approx. 35 minutes' drive).

You don’t need to be a top athlete or mountain 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.
