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.

You dream of deep snow, quiet summits and wide frozen horizons lit by crisp blue skies or northern lights. Our Expeditions in January range from the Vosges to the Ecrins, from the Clarée and the Beaufortain to Finnish and Norwegian Lapland. Choose your flavour: cosy refuge snowshoeing, winter bivouac with pulka, tracking wolves with a naturalist, driving a dog team, progressive ski touring, or gentle micro adventures along the water.

Highlights include snowshoe routes in the Clarée valley, Haute Ubaye, the Vosges and across the Swiss Jura, the once in a lifetime igloo night facing La Meije, bivouac and pulka in the Cerces, and cani snowshoeing with Nordic dogs in the Ecrins. Wildlife lovers can follow wolf tracks in the Vercors or the Ecrins, and watch chamois and raptors with passionate local guides. On skis, start around Mont Blanc, the Grand Saint Bernard, the Aravis and the Ecrins, or aim higher with the Pierra Menta circuit and the expert Tour du Mont Viso. Head north for husky sledding, ski Altai and Arctic walks, or stay closer to home with a packraft introduction on the Semois or a bike and packraft combo in the Lesse valley. If you prefer to slow down, try a survival course in the Belgian Ardennes or a yoga retreat in Durbuy. Whatever you pick, our Expeditions in January are fully guided, safe and memorable.

What our travellers say

Real reviews from people who joined our guided expeditions.

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.
Le professionnalisme du guide m'a épaté. Un passionné. Merci à lui pour son partage. L'hôtel Quartier Libre est parfait. Chambres, nourriture, acceuil.
Superbe aventure :)
Séjour ds le Vercors vraiment extra. Très belle nature ainsi que la météo. Un très grand merci au guide Romain à la fois très pro et cool, une très chouette rencontré.
Un week end exceptionnel en compagnie de Romain qui nous a transmis sa passion ! Je recommande ! Une expérience riche en émotion et instructive. Merci à toute l'équipe.
Séjour magique au coeur du Vercors, en compagnie d'un guide passionné et passionnant. Il nous a éclairé très complètement sur toutes les interactions liées à la présence du Loup sur ce massif. Et même si nous ne l'avons pas vu, toutes les histoires et anecdotes contées par Romain nous ont mis des loups dans les yeux. Merci pour ce séjour parfaitement organisé, aidé par une météo et des conditions d'observations idéales.
Une très belle initiation de packraft dans un endroit incroyable avec un bon moniteur qui est Logan !
Romain est un guide exceptionnel et passionné, nous avons découvert le Vercors dans le respect de la nature. Nous y retournerons. Catherine L
Découverte de la région avec un guide passionné du Vercors,de sa faune de ses sentiers dans une vraie pédagogie bienveillante.
Ce fût une expérience animée par un guide passionné et passionnant ! Ces 3 jours ont été largement à la hauteur de mes attentes! Je recommande les yeux fermés Romain! On est arrivés en train de Valence TGV, n'ayant pas eu la possibilité de faire du covoiturage, Wildhartt nous a payé un taxi pour monter au col de la machine. C'était vraiment un plus très appréciable !
Un petit périple parfaitement organisé. Notre guide Thierry était top: super agréable, attentif et toujours prêt à partager quelques explications sur le parcours et lieux d'intérêt.
Chouette Initiation packraft, très accessible et super convivial!

Who is this for?

These trips are for you if you want a guided winter adventure, from beginner to expert. Unsure about snow, start gently with a one day packraft on the Semois or a weekend of snowshoeing in a comfortable refuge in the Vosges. Feeling at ease in the mountains, target multi day routes in the Clarée or the Swiss Jura, follow wolf tracks, or discover ski touring around Mont Blanc and the Grand Saint Bernard. Craving a bigger challenge, go for a winter bivouac with pulka in the Cerces, traverse Lapland on snowshoes, or commit to ski raids like the Pierra Menta or the Tour du Mont Viso. Whether you come for wildlife, the thrill of skiing, the far north or total disconnection, you will find your match in January.
