The guides who will lead your adventure

Guide Joseph - Mountain leader (AMM)

Joseph

Mountain leader (AMM)
FrenchFrench
EnglishEnglish

A mountain leader, mountain bike instructor and accordionist, I grew up in the Munster Valley before moving on to other parts of France, then the world and finally the Savoyard Alps, to realise that Alsace is even more beautiful when you come back to it. As a lover of my region, I invite you to discover it together along the most beautiful paths, between mountains, peaks and vineyards.

Guide Maxime - Mountain leader (AMM)

Maxime

Mountain leader (AMM)
FrenchFrench

Originally from the Vosges, I grew up with a love of the mountains. I've been a qualified mountain leader for 10 years now, and I'm now using my experience to run trail courses in the mountains. I've been a keen trail runner and club member since childhood, and have won numerous competitions and titles over the years.

Now a specialist in vertical drop and vertical kilometre, I compete at national level and recently finished 3rd Master 0 at the French championships.

My aim? To help you progress in a safe and motivating environment... without forgetting the most important thing: having a good time together. Serious on the field, I'm funny and joking behind the scenes!

Guide August - IFMGA Mountain Guide

August

IFMGA Mountain Guide
FrenchFrench
EnglishEnglish

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.

Guide Florian - Mountain leader (AMM)

Florian, a mountain leader for over 15 years, is meticulous and caring in his dealings with nature and people. He's happy to share his knowledge and experience of the mountains in general and the Vosges in particular. His calm demeanour is punctuated by moments of explanation, contemplation and laughter, for a totally safe Vosges experience.

Guide Vincent - Mountain leader (AMM)

Vincent

Mountain leader (AMM)

As a mountain leader and sports instructor with a passion for outdoor activities, I'm here to guide you through unforgettable experiences in the heart of the Vosges countryside.


My mission is to help you experience unique moments, in harmony with the natural environment that surrounds us. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned amateur, I'm committed to accompanying you as you explore the mountains, forests and local flora and fauna.

Guide François-Xavier - Mountain leader (AMM)

François-Xavier

Mountain leader (AMM)
FrenchFrench

I've been a mountain guide for around fifteen years now, and my passion for the mountains and nature in all its forms has led me to explore the Vosges massif. And of course, the idea is to be able to share with others in and around this magical environment. With a magnificent office like mine (even if the ceiling sometimes leaks 🙂 ), it would be a shame not to make the most of it!

Frequently asked questions

Are dogs allowed on this expedition?

No, unfortunately, despite being great dog lovers in the Wildhartt team, we can't accept dogs on this expedition.

Is it possible to have a private room?

Yes, it is possible to book a private room. Just ask us when you make your reservation.

How comfortable is the refuge?

The refuge is modern and comfortable: you will sleep in a shared room [single bed] with blankets and heating. You'll also have access to sanitary facilities and hot showers to warm up after your hikes.

What happens if there's no snow?

We are first and foremost hikers, and when the snow runs out we still ensure the departure of our trips. The atmosphere and the winter light are just right, and even if you have to wear snowshoes or do without them sometimes, the scenery is still splendid. So make sure you have good walking shoes.

What equipment do I need?

Once your registration has been confirmed, you will receive a personalised roadbook for your expedition containing a list of equipment to take in your rucksack. Here's an overview: high-top boots, rucksack (min. 30L), water bottle (min. 1L), gloves and hat.

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.
