The guides who will lead your adventure

Guide Fabrice - Polar Expedition guide

Fabrice

Polar Expedition guide
FrenchFrench

After 25 years of guiding in the mountains and elsewhere, I still share the same passion for helping you discover my playgrounds, from the Pyrenees to Nepal and Swedish Lapland.

There's no need to achieve any sporting feats to experience this magical atmosphere and be alone in the midst of the elements: reading the terrain, understanding the snow, observing the wildlife, feeling truly connected: here, adventure is above all human.

Frequently asked questions

How comfortable are the Mountain huts we'll be sleeping in?

You'll spend a week in comfortable Mountain huts in the heart of the countryside. The Mountain huts have a wood-burning stove to keep you warm, a sauna and a fully-equipped kitchen. However, most of the Mountain huts have no electricity or running water, so we'll have to melt snow to get 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 meat bag for hygiene reasons.

Will there be plugs on site?

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

What equipment do we need?

The holiday includes full hire of all the cold-weather equipment you need, so that you can work comfortably in Arctic conditions without having to invest in special equipment. Safety equipment is also provided. A full, detailed list of compulsory and recommended equipment will be sent to you once you have registered.

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.

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.
