Being able to live adventurously and outdoors is something that's always been on my mind... After completing my 'traditional' studies and entering the world of work, I quickly realised that it wasn't for me. So, after 3 years in a design office, I changed direction and became a guide in as many disciplines as I could: mountain guide, river guide, climbing and mountain-biking instructor.

Hi, I'm August, and I've been guiding in the far north of Norway for over 8 years. Skiing in front of the sea, under the northern lights, or simply enjoying nature, that's what makes me tick. Guiding is above all about sharing my passion and helping you discover places that are close to my heart, in a safe environment. Experiencing exceptional moments in the great outdoors is my raison d'être, and that's what I promise you when I accompany you.

⚠️ For this expedition, August may be replaced by another equally experienced guide, depending on availability. All our guides speak English, and many of them also speak French, to ensure you have an equally rewarding experience.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to speak English well to take part?

Our guide Raphael speaks French and English. So you'll have no trouble communicating, whatever your language preference.

What equipment do we need?

The top priority is to pack enough thermal clothing, as well as a comfortable winter jacket and trousers for walking long distances. If necessary, clothing and footwear can be hired as an option. Given the long cold days, don't forget to bring a down jacket, two fleeces, warm waterproof gloves and woollen socks. A minimum of category 3 sunglasses and sun cream with a protection factor of 50 are also essential. To protect you from the cold, we also advise you to take hand and foot warmers, as well as a thermos flask for hot water. If you choose to take your own mountain boots or winter boots, make sure they are both warm and waterproof. A more detailed list will be sent to you well in advance of your departure.

What will we eat on the trek?

During the trek, we will provide you with high-quality freeze-dried food from our selected partner, Tactical Foodpack. This type of meal is designed to be both tasty and nutritious, while being easy to transport and prepare in the wild. These meals are specially designed to meet the energy needs of adventurers and are very easy to rehydrate with hot water. So you'll have well-balanced meals adapted to the physical effort involved throughout your trek.

How comfortable are the refuges we'll be sleeping in?

You'll spend a week in comfortable refuges set in the heart of the countryside. The refuges are equipped with a wood-burning stove to keep you warm, a sauna and a fully-equipped kitchen. However, most of the refuges have no electricity or running water, so we'll be melting snow for water. Welcome to the great outdoors!

How comfortable are the rooms?

You will sleep every night in a shared room in a single bed. The beds will be equipped with blankets and pillows, but you will need to bring a sleeping bag liner for hygiene reasons.

Will there be plugs on site?

There will be plug sockets at the first and last huts. On the other nights, you'll sleep in authentic refuges with all the comforts of home, but without power sockets. We therefore recommend that you take external batteries with you.

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.
