Why choose Wildhartt?

Certified expert guides

Every expedition is led by qualified, passionate guides trained for safety in the wild.

Small groups, authentic adventure

Human-sized groups for a genuine adventure, far from mass tourism.

Wild & preserved nature

We explore the most beautiful wild spaces while respecting ecosystems and local communities.

In April the mountains and the far North show two faces. Our adventure trips in April bring together the last snow and the lift of spring: ski touring, snowshoe outings and dog sledding in Swedish Lapland, along with big hikes and wildlife encounters across the French ranges.

On snow, aim for a first 4000 on Gran Paradiso, link Chamonix to Zermatt on the Haute Route, or tag the Mont Thabor on a three day raid. Learn step by step around Mont Blanc and at the Grand Saint Bernard, spend a night in an igloo with views of the Meije, or go splitboard touring around Argentière and the Albert Premier hut. Further north, pick April traverses in Norway’s Lyngen Alps, either by sailboat or from a cosy chalet, when conditions are at their best.

If you prefer dry trails, go mountain running in Chamonix, the Vercors, on Mont Ventoux or up the Grand Colombier. Hike the Vosges ridge, roam the Auvergne volcanoes, explore Luxembourg’s Mullerthal and the cliffs and lochs of the Isle of Skye. On calmer water, pair mountain bike and packraft on the Lesse, learn to sail in Zeeland, or paddle a quiet Belgian river in search of beavers. To slow down, track wolves in the Vercors or the Ecrins, or treat yourself to a yoga retreat in the Ardennes. Our adventure trips in April run from 1 to 8 days and are guided by local pros for every level.

What our travellers say

Real reviews from people who joined our guided expeditions.

Expérience incroyable, Romain est un passionné et sa passion est contagieuse !
Une aventure épique. Romaine, notre guide, était une véritable source d'inspiration. Il est important de noter que le voyage s'est déroulé en français ; il est donc essentiel d'avoir une bonne compréhension de la langue ou de pouvoir compter sur un ami capable de traduire.
Nous avons vécu 3 jours au top avec le guide Romain qui a tout mis en œuvre pour nous transmettre son amour du Vercors. Nous avons suivi la piste des loups en apprenant sans cesse sur la nature (faune,flore et paysages). Un grand merci à Romain.
Notre guide,,Violette, au top, dans son approche, la technique et la convivialité . Patrick C.
Partis en rando-ânes en groupe réduit, nous avons pu bénéficier d’un guide exceptionnel qui par son implication, ses connaissances du milieu naturel et son expérience a rendu ce séjour de 5 jours dans les Cévennes inoubliable.
Journée au top
Aventure incroyable, mêlant nature, lien avec les ânes et randonnée. Le tout encadré par une guide permettant de profiter à fond de l expérience en toute sécurité. Nourriture dans les gîtes et bivouacs excellente, que des produits frais! Enfin, idéal pour les enfants qui ne voient pas les heures passées...
On a passé un excellent week-end en Zélande avec Tom notre skipper! Apprentissage de la voile sans pression et dans la bonne humeur :) À refaire!
Randonnée de 3 jours dans les Vosges, avec nuit étoilée. Superbe expérience grâce à notre guide, Joseph, sa soif de connaissances, sa bonne humeur , son accordéon et son aptitude à s'adapter au groupe. Mille mercis à lui
Très bonne expérience, une bonne déconnexion, des hébergements différents, de belles rencontres avec les producteurs. Merci au guide Okwari, et aux organisateurs de la rando Noë et Antoine
Très belle expérience avec un super guide.
Le professionnalisme du guide m'a épaté. Un passionné. Merci à lui pour son partage. L'hôtel Quartier Libre est parfait. Chambres, nourriture, acceuil.
