Snowshoeing

We'll meet at 8:15am at the Hôtel le Faranchin in Villar-d'Arêne, where you'll collect your equipment: snowshoes, poles, avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.
Then a short drive takes you to Pont de l’Alpe, the trailhead for today’s snowshoe loop. You’ll explore the Cerces mountains, sometimes called the “little Dolomites” for their colourful rock formations, and keep an eye out for ibex, which are often spotted here. It’s the perfect day to get confident with your snowshoes and avalanche safety gear, while soaking in the views of the Agneaux massif (3664 m).
Back at the lodge in the afternoon, you'll debrief over a warm meal and prepare for tomorrow’s night in the snow. Expect a fun, relaxed pace with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and learn along the way.
Early start at 8:00. You’ll carry your overnight gear, food for dinner and breakfast, and head off on a short transfer.
The route is mellow and scenic, opening up to a snow-covered plateau with jaw-dropping views of La Meije and its glaciers. Once there, you’ll help build or reinforce the igloos, then cook and share dinner with the group. Expect a cold night, but one you’ll remember forever. No worries, your sleeping gear is provided if needed.
After breakfast in the snow and a bit of packing, you’ll head out for a gentle descent.
Depending on the group's energy, there's an option to hike up to a nearby viewpoint before heading back down. Once you’re back at the lodge, a hot lunch and a well-earned shower await. You’ll leave early afternoon with fresh legs and a head full of snowy memories.
FrenchPassionate about mountains and trail running, I’ve made the trails my playground. I’ll take you on a different kind of mountain adventure one that blends effort, enjoyment, and full immersion in nature. No race against time, just the right pace to progress with confidence.
Trained as a Mountain guide and in alpine safety, I share my expertise to help you tackle climbs, descents, and endurance at altitude. Ready to hit the trails together?

You don’t need to be a top athlete or mountain 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.
