From 7pm, welcome at the Mountain hut. Get to know your guide and the other participants over a convivial aperitif, followed by a hearty local meal.
The following morning, we start with a technical outing around the Mountain hut, devoted to the basics of trail running biomechanics. Through practical exercises, you'll learn how to put your foot down more efficiently, find a fluid, natural stride and correct certain movements to prevent injury and improve your running economy.
In the afternoon, you'll take part in a specific ascent/descent workshop and use of poles. You'll see how to optimise your effort on the ascent, gain fluidity on the descent and use your poles as a real performance lever.
Return to the Mountain hut at the end of the day for a sportsman's meal and a convivial evening.
Today, we're off for a big day on the trails of the Vosges, a mix of trail riding and sporty hiking. On the programme: around 25km through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Massif, including the ascent of the Hohneck, one of the Vosges' iconic peaks.
This outing will be an opportunity to put into practice the techniques learnt the day before, in particular the use of poles, effort management and positioning on the descent.
At the end of the afternoon, a nutrition workshop with Maxime: practical advice on what to eat before, during and after a ride, to optimise energy and recovery.
We end this busy day with a convivial Savoyard meal at the Mountain hut.
After breakfast, we start the day with a Nordic walking outing (5 km), ideal for discovering a different approach to running, using poles for gentle endurance. If we're lucky, we might spot some chamois, which are used to these Vosges ridges.
After lunch, it's on to the final 10 km trail run: a varied loop that allows us to put into practice everything we've learnt during the course (stride, poles, effort management, nutrition).
Return to the Mountain hut at the end of the afternoon for a group debriefing and conclusion of the course at around 5pm.
Distances and times are given as a guide only and may be adapted according to the level of the group, the weather and the terrain conditions.
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!
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!

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.
