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.

Craving wide open air at the height of summer? Our guided trips in August carry you from Alpine bivouacs in the Écrins to turquoise coves under sail. Tackle your first 4000 on the Mont Rose or the Breithorn, drift down the Dordogne by canoe with nights on the shore, learn to sail in Brittany, Corsica or the Balearics, paddle a week by sea kayak through the Stockholm archipelago, and set off on big crossings in Scotland or Lapland. We round it out with gravel and bikepacking escapes for a fast dose of freedom.

You travel in small groups with certified guides, nights in simple welcoming places, from refuges and gites to cabins and boats. Technical gear is often available to rent and many meeting points are easy to reach by train. In August we add plenty of dates over 2 to 10 days so you can match your window. Browse this August selection and book ahead to catch the long light and the finest European panoramas the season has to offer.

What our travellers say

Real reviews from people who joined our guided expeditions.

3 jours de stage trail incroyables ! Notre guide Maxime a été de très bons conseils, il a su répondre à toutes nos attentes, en étant attentif aux besoins de chacun. Nous avons également apprécié le cadre et l'équipe du refuge de Sotré et ses magnifiques couchers de soleil. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! Annabelle & Esteve
Une magnifique expérience au cœur des Vosges ! 🥾🦌🌲 Un week-end hors du temps, entre randonnée, nature, superbes paysages et moments de partage. Une aventure parfaitement organisée qui m’a permis de découvrir la région autrement et de vivre pleinement l’expérience du brame du cerf et de la randonnée. Un grand merci à Samuel, notre accompagnateur de montagne, pour ses connaissances très approfondies de la faune et la flore, et sa bienveillance. Toujours attentif au groupe, passionné et à l’écoute, il a su nous accompagner, nous conseiller et partager ses connaissances tout au long du week-end. On se sent vraiment en confiance avec lui, et sa bonne humeur contribue largement à l’ambiance du groupe. J’ai également beaucoup aimé l’expérience du refuge, niché en pleine forêt 🌲. Un endroit simple et authentique, avec un accueil très chaleureux de la part du président du club de randonneurs des Vosges, vraiment sympathique. Et quel plaisir de préparer le repas et cuisiner tous ensemble au refuge ! Un moment convivial qui fait pleinement partie de l’aventure et qui crée encore davantage de liens au sein du groupe. 🍲 Une expérience humaine et sportive comme je les aime, avec de très beaux souvenirs à la clé. Je repars ravie… et avec l’envie de repartir pour une prochaine aventure avec Wildhartt ! 🤍🌿 Merci Samuel pour ce superbe week-end ! 🙏🏼
Super stage! J’ai appris plein de choses à mettre en pratique pour le trail. Maxime notre guide a été un formidable instructeur toujours dans la bienveillance. Merci encore Maxime pour ce beau stage
Thibaut a été un guide génial et l'organisation complète etait super chouette. Je n'avais jamais fait d'escalade donc une première pour moi mais je me suis régalé Encore merci a Thibaut qui a été adorable
Super stage, une belle déconnection, une équipe de choc et un encadrement au top ! Conforme à l'attendu, et encore mieux !
Une première expérience en montagne, très bien organisée, des gens sympas ! À recommander vivement
Une expérience extraordinaire, une organisation sans faille, des moments d’émotion partagés, des souvenirs magiques plein la tête. A renouveler dès que possible.
Très belle première expérience en alpinisme, avec un Guide (Isidore) qui a fait son maximum pour que l’expérience soit la plus plaisante possible.
Guide très agréable, à l écoute des désirs et des aptitudes des participants. Refuge, accueil très sympathique, repas de qualité et très savoureux. Belle experience. Merci
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.
Aventure géniale au Grand Paradis, premier 4000m sous des conditions de rêve. Très fier de ma maman qui a réussi ce défis. Et une mention spéciale à notre guide Manu qui a été Tip Top !
Expérience extraordinaire et inoubliable pour un premier 4000 avec un guide exceptionnel Merci !
