The rest of the route takes you through open mountain pastures, until you reach your first summit at over 2,000m. This is the perfect opportunity to take a look around and learn about the geological history of the massif.


The descent is through a wild combe, beneath the foothills of the highest point in the Bauges, before crossing a valley and climbing back up to the Mountain hut. Situated in a privileged setting, it sometimes offers the opportunity to observe chamois with a spyglass.

The summit offers exceptional views of Mont Blanc and the whole of the Alps. After a well-deserved break, we descend to the pass for a picnic, then cross a slope dotted with scree and forest, before climbing back up to our Mountain hut for the evening.

Gwendoline

International mountain Leader (IML)

After two long trips that made me fall in love with the mountains, I decided to settle in the Alps. I chose Chambéry, an ideal location between the Bauges, Chartreuse and Belledonne massifs. Since 2024, I've been devoting myself fully to my job as a mountain leader, a career change that allows me to combine exploration, environmental awareness, a taste for challenge and training, all in the heart of the mountains, a fascinating and constantly evolving environment.

Frequently asked questions

How comfortable are the rooms?

The gîtes offer a certain level of comfort: you will sleep in a single bed in a room shared with the other participants. Blankets and pillows are provided, but it is advisable to bring a sleeping bag for reasons of hygiene.

What can I do if the dates don't suit me?

If none of the proposed dates suit you, it is possible to privatise an expedition. All you need to do is form a group of at least 4 people, send us an e-mail with the dates you want, and we can organise the expedition for you!

Do I need to be a good hiker to take part?

To take part in this expedition, you need to be able to walk around 7 hours a day for 4 days, with over 1000m of positive ascent. You also need to be able to hike on mountainsides and not be prone to vertigo.

Will I have to carry a rucksack on the various hikes?

Yes, we don't plan to carry any vehicles, so you'll have to carry your rucksack as we'll be sleeping in different accommodation every night. However, blankets and pillows will be provided by the hostels, and you'll be eating in the hostels every night, so you won't need to carry any food on the hikes.

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?

To make your request, go to the expedition that interests you and click on "Privatise the expedition". We'll take care of the rest!

Our priority: to offer you a quality experience, with complete clarity.

Do you have any questions? Contact us.


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 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.
