Snowshoeing

We'll meet at 10am in Saint Pierre de Chartreuse, the starting point of our adventure.
Once there, we'll lighten our packs, put on our snowshoes and set off on our first hike, towards the Col du Cucheron. The route alternates between hamlets, meadows and wooded areas. The pace is adapted so that everyone can find their feet and enjoy the scenery.
This stage is also an opportunity to get to know the group better in a friendly atmosphere.
Note: Don't forget to pack a picnic lunch!
This second day will take you around the Grande Chartreuse monastery, a spiritual Mecca founded in 1084 by Saint Bruno.
We'll be hiking in the surrounding forests, a setting where you can feel alone in the world, surrounded by nature that stretches as far as the eye can see, lulled only by birdsong.
If you wish, you can visit the Grande Chartreuse museum (admission €10), to learn more about the history and life of the Carthusian monks. Pauses along the way will allow you to admire the scenery and take your time.
After packing our rucksacks, we'll head for the Col de Porte.
The gradual ascent takes place in a mountain setting typical of the Chartreuse massif. On arrival, a well-deserved break awaits you at the chalet jaune, the home of Séb, an innkeeper with a passion for the massif who serves local produce. This convivial moment will mark the end of our stay.
FrenchHi, I'm Virginie. I left my native Switzerland to come and live in Grenoble, France. That's where I discovered the best job in the world: mountain leader!
Since the end of 2023, I've been devoting all my time and energy to this job. I'm always on the move, travelling to the summits on trails, hikes and rock climbs, just to keep things varied! Passing on my passion enriches me day by day, and I'm lucky to be able to do it.
You are able to walk 4 hours a day, with 10 km stages and an Ascent of up to 600 m.
You do not need any previous snowshoeing experience: we will teach you how to use the safety kit in snowy conditions.
You are comfortable moving around in varied terrain (forest paths, snow-covered meadows, mountain passes).
You can bring your own bag with you for the day (picnic, water). The rest stays at the gîte.
You do not mind sharing a room in a comfortable gîte, where you can enjoy friendly meals and warm evenings.

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.
