We'll meet at 9am in Viroinval, where your guides Marc and Adeline will welcome you for an introductory briefing. As soon as you arrive, you'll be plunged into the world of survival.
The morning begins with a workshop on the knots that are essential for survival, followed by a course on how to use a tarpaulin to protect yourself from the elements. Once we've mastered these fundamental techniques, we take a well-deserved lunch break.
The afternoon is devoted to learning how to light a fire, a crucial skill for any survivor. Then you'll learn how to choose and prepare a bivouac site, where you'll spend the night. This first day allows you to fully immerse yourself in the art of survival, while developing essential practical skills.
Sunday morning begins with a workshop on preparing breakfast (chiapati and improved trapper bread). Then we guide you through a course on water management: how to find, purify and conserve water in the wilderness. We continue with a session on signposting for rescue, a vital skill in an emergency situation.
The afternoon is devoted to a practical adventure: an orienteering walk to find food in the wild. You'll learn how to identify sources of food and prepare them yourself. This practical experience will allow you to put into practice all the skills you have learned during the course.
We finish this adventure at 4pm. After two intense days full of learning, you'll be ready to face survival situations with confidence. As a reward for your efforts, you'll receive your "Introduction to Survival" certificate. Mission accomplished!

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, 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.
