Certified expert guides

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

Wild & preserved nature

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

May is the sweet spot for guided hiking trips, with long days, blooming meadows and quieter trails. From forest paths to airy ridges and lochside panoramas, our team-picked routes let you travel light, learn from your guide and soak up spring at its best. If you have been waiting for the right window to hit the trail this May, this is it.

Highlights include following Stevenson’s footsteps with a donkey in the Cévennes, a trek and bivouac in the Écrins facing the Valgaudemar peaks, the fairy trails of Luxembourg’s Mullerthal, or an 8‑day exploration on Scotland’s Isle of Skye. Prefer more pace and coaching? Join a mountain trail running course in May in the Vosges, Chamonix or the Pyrenees. Ready to sleep under the stars and learn new skills? Book a bivouac trek in May and make spring your season of adventure.

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.
L'accompagnateur était professionnel et super sympa ! Il a adapté les journées aux conditions météo, aux souhaits et aux niveaux des participants. Au-delà des aspects techniques, il nous a parlé de la culture, de l'histoire locale et nous a donné quelques anecdotes.
Absolument ravie d’être passée par Wildhartt pour ma première expérience de trek/bivouak ! Notre guide Thomas était top, l’organisation parfaite (matériel, repas, logistique) La création du groupe Whatsapp en amont du départ est un vrai + Hâte de réserver ma prochaine aventure !
Notre guide,,Violette, au top, dans son approche, la technique et la convivialité . Patrick C.
Super première expérience pour moi, le guide est vraiment bon et je m’en remercie de m’avoir fait découvrir son univers. Je recommande sans hésiter. Un grand merci aussi pour les organisateurs qui font de l’excellent travail. Ça ne sera pas ma dernière expérience avec vous je pense que j’en ferai encore bien d’autres
A mon âge, c'était un défi, j'ai même pensé d'annuler ma réservation 😂, mais une fois la...avec l'assurance du guide...y’a pas des mots. C'était SUPERBE!!!👍
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...
Très belle aventure que ce stage de trail dans les Vosges, et ceci grâce à Maxime qui est un super guide, très à l'écoute et qui a apporté à chacun de précieux conseils pour nous améliorer. Le lever du soleil avec les chamois, les soirées au refuge et les fous rires en visionnant les exploits de la journée resteront des moments inoubliables !
Stage trail de 2 jours absolument parfait, avec un guide attentif à chacun.e en continu, très pro et très drôle. L'ambiance du groupe était très chouette et s'est créée naturellement. Le refuge du Sotré est très confortable, avec une vue exceptionnelle, et de bons petits déjeuners et repas.
Très belle expérience pour mon fils de 16 ans auprès d'autres grimpeurs débutants et bienveillants. Initiation « familiale » à l’escalade vu le nombre limité de participants. Chouette équipe d’ailleurs ce jour. 🙂 Alban est un moniteur très professionnel, passionné et sympathique. Pas de souci sur le plan de la sécurité. La journée s'est passée agréablement et malheureusement trop vite. 😉😊

Who is this for?

Made for hikers who want small-group guidance, meaningful nature time and a clear next step, whether starting out or pushing further. Ideal if you aim to book a bivouac trek in May or join a mountain trail running course in May, with routes matched to beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
