FrenchOriginally 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!

EnglishHi, 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.
FrenchI'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!

Très belle aventure que ce stage de trail dans les Vosges, et ceci grâce à Maxime qui est un super guide, très à l'écoute et qui a apporté à chacun de précieux conseils pour nous améliorer. Le lever du soleil avec les chamois, les soirées au refuge et les fous rires en visionnant les exploits de la journée resteront des moments inoubliables !

Stage trail de 2 jours absolument parfait, avec un guide attentif à chacun.e en continu, très pro et très drôle. L'ambiance du groupe était très chouette et s'est créée naturellement. Le refuge du Sotré est très confortable, avec une vue exceptionnelle, et de bons petits déjeuners et repas.

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, 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:

At Wildhartt, transparency is essential. The price of your expedition reflects a clear breakdown of costs:
Our priority: to offer you a quality experience, with complete clarity.
