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.

Une expérience inoubliable, un parcours très exigeant et difficile physiquement mais une grande satisfaction d'arriver au bout avec une super cordée solidaire et un guide exceptionnel !!!
On a fait un week-end entre copains en pleine nature. Au programme : Balade en vélo, escalade en falaises, overnight camping & BBQ puis pack raft le lendemain. Le temps était au beau fixe, le guide Alban hyper sympa, et l'orga au top. Je referai d'office !!! Merci Marie & ton équipe!
Agence fiable et disponible!! Super expérience
We did Chamonix (Mont-Blanc) to Zermatt (Matterhorn) Haute Route hike via the glaciers. It’s a once in a lifetime type of adventure. Thanks to Wildhartt and Sandro, our guide, we had a wonderful experience. We recommend to stay a day or two in Zermatt after the hike to relax.
Très bonne expérience sur la Haute route Chamonix Zermatt.Pack tout compris pour un budget raisonnable
Super chouette agence dynamique et en soutien de ses clients. Présents avant, pendant et après. Au top !

Frequently asked questions

How comfortable are the refuges?

The refuges, gîtes and inns in which you will sleep are all comfortable: you will sleep in a shared room in a single bed. Blankets and pillows will be provided, but you'll simply need to take a meat bag for hygiene reasons.

What equipment do I need?

We provide all the mountaineering equipment. However, if you have your own equipment, don't hesitate to take it with you! Once your enrolment has been confirmed, we'll send you a full list of the equipment you'll need in a personalised roadbook for your expedition.

Will there be a telephone network?

There is little network coverage in the high mountains. Network coverage depends on your telephone subscription. At times during your journey, you'll get a signal, but most of the time you'll be completely disconnected. Welcome to the great outdoors.

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 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 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 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.
