    • On the programme - ArrivalOn the programme·Arrival

    We arrive in Kiruna either at the station at 9.30 am or at the airport in the late morning. Before heading off to our accommodation, we stop off in the town centre to pick up our gear and learn about the town's unique history of mining and its transformation.


    Over a hot drink and a pastry, we get to know the group and the guide; equipment hire or purchase options are available if required. The tour continues with a discovery of the emblematic sites and lunch in town or a simple meal, depending on the timetable.


    In the afternoon, transfer to accommodation, settling in and time to recuperate with a sauna, a moment of relaxation before the start of the adventure.

Pure moment de déconnexion et de découverte que ce séjour dans les Vosges guidé par Joseph qui nous a appris beaucoup sur la nature et la faune environnante et en plus avec plein de touches d’humour et tous mes compagnons de rando étaient tous au top!!!! J ai adore
Très beau séjour de 3 jours en Raquettes à neige dans le Jura Suisse, avec un guide très intéressant et proche de la nature, le logement en gîte de montagne et ensuite en hôtel plus confortable nous a beaucoup plus, et la découverte d'un sport en immersion totale est extra. Organisation au top de plus la météo était au rendez-vous. Allez y les yeux fermés !

Frequently asked questions

How comfortable is your home?

The chalet is a traditional chalet with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining area and a private bathroom with toilet and shower. The first bedroom has a bunk bed, the second has two bunk beds and the third has a bunk bed. The large, open-plan living area, including lounge and kitchen, is furnished with a dining table, comfortable sofa, fireplace and television. On site, you'll also have access to the balcony, where you can admire the view of the snow-covered lake, and access to the wood-heated sauna.

How do I get to Kiruna?

You can get to Kiruna by plane, but also by train! If you'd like to come by train, we can put you in direct contact with our partner who will take care of booking and organising the train journey to Kiruna.

What time will we be picked up in Kiruna on the first day?

The shuttle picks up all the participants at the same time, so that we can all start the adventure together. The timetable is therefore set according to everyone's arrivals: we always adapt to the last participant to land in Kiruna. In practical terms, the departure is in the morning, once everyone has arrived. You will, of course, receive the precise timetable a few days before departure.

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.
