We meet at 9am in Flumet, a charming medieval village nestling in the heart of the Val d'Arly. After introductions, we set off to begin our hike up the left bank of the Arrondine, past forest chalets and oratories that bear witness to our alpine past.


After lunch at the summit of Gâteau (1588 m), where the panorama opens up under the eye of Mont-Blanc, we continue to Signal du Sac (1683 m). The day culminates at Tête du Torraz (1930 m), offering breathtaking views of the Aravis range to the north and the stages ahead.

After crossing the Col du Jaillet, we leave Mont Blanc behind and descend into the peaceful Ramadieu mountain pastures, where the landscape softens and quiets.

We then follow the legendary Route de la Soif, a scenic path that offers sweeping vistas of the Aravis, the Beaufortain, and the ever-present Mont Blanc in the distance.


The descent takes us along a narrow mountain trail down to the village of Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle, where we spend the night in Marie and Alexis’s Savoyard-style gîte.

For those who are curious, the route can be extended with a detour through the Tourbière des Saisies Nature Reserve, a rare and protected wetland ecosystem. This optional section offers a deeper look into the biodiversity of the region, rich with alpine flora and fauna.

From there, we continue on to the Col de la Lézette and its peaceful alpine lake. The panoramic ridge trail that follows offers exceptional views, with highlights including Mont Clocher (1976 m), a perfect spot to pause and soak in the moment.


Although this stage is gentler in elevation, it is just as rich in natural beauty and contrasts.

We spend the evening and night at the Croix de Pierre refuge, facing Mont Blanc, for a peaceful and contemplative end to the day.

What kind of people usually join Wildhartt expeditions ?

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.
