    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.


    A short descent takes us to the Plan de l'Aar refuge, where a convivial evening awaits you after this fine first day.

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.

At Wildhartt, transparency is essential. The price of your expedition reflects a clear breakdown of costs:

  • 35% for accommodation and meals, essential for your comfort.

  • 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.
