We'll meet at 9am in Pralognan-la-Vanoise, where you'll meet your group and guide: welcome, briefing and equipment check.
Once the equipment has been checked, we'll begin our first ascent to the Col de la Vanoise refuge. During the hike, we'll have the chance to admire the breathtaking panorama of the Grande Casse, the highest peak in the massif, and the Aiguille de la Vanoise, the famous limestone spine that stands in the middle of a breathtaking landscape.
Surrounded by majestic mountains, we'll also cross the mythical Lac des Vaches on a stone path in the middle of the water. We'll finish the day in the Col de la Vanoise refuge, perched at an altitude of 2517 metres, where we'll spend a warm evening in authentic surroundings.
Let's continue our discovery of the Vanoise National Park! From our refuge, we'll walk to our second stopover, the Arpont refuge.
Along the way, we'll come across a wealth of fauna, including ibex, ermines, chamois, marmots, golden eagles, bearded vultures and black grouse. The flora is just as exceptional: there are more than 1,700 species - a third of France's flora!
After a great day's walking, we'll meet up at the refuge, where we'll have a chance to sample some tasty local cuisine!
After a good night's sleep in the Arpont refuge, we'll be embarking on our longest day's walking.
On the programme: a magnificent hike along wild, mineral paths on the slopes of the Alpine pastures, crossing impressive mountain torrents and breathing in the fresh mountain air.
After a 7-hour day's walk, we'll have a well-deserved rest at the refuge at the bottom of Aussois.
On this fourth day, we'll be getting up early for our biggest ascent yet: we'll be setting off to discover the Col d'Aussois, a gradual immersion in the mineral world of the Alps.
We'll leave behind the low grasses and wild flowers. This is a place where minerals reign supreme. When the sky clears, we'll be able to see the peaks in the distance. If we turn our gaze northwards, the Roof of Europe will reveal itself majestically. We'll have an exceptional view of Mont Blanc.
At the end of the day, for those who haven't had enough, there's a chance to make the return trip to the Tête de l'Observatoire, a viewpoint rising to 3016 metres and offering a wide panorama of the various glaciers. Back to the refuge after around 7 hours' walking.
On this final day, we'll descend from the Valette refuge to our starting point. We'll be walking for 4 hours in magnificent surroundings. A great way to end our tour of the Vanoise!
French
EnglishI've always had a passion for experiencing the great outdoors, whether in the mountains or on the high seas. What particularly motivates me is sharing the precious moments and countless surprises that the mountains have to offer, because I'm convinced that wonder and simplicity are powerful values for all of us!

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.
