Crave a night sky for a ceiling and mountain silence all around? This handpicked collection of guided wild camping hikes Europe is built from our own trail notes. We keep packs light, pitch in for camp chores, cook simple meals and focus on safety while chasing sunset views.
Pick your style, from a 3 day bivouac in the remote Valgaudemar facing the Sirac, to volcanic ridges and a swim in Lake Pavin in the Massif Central, to an alpine traverse below the Aiguilles d’Arves. Slow it down with a hike with a donkey in the Écrins or follow Stevenson’s trail for a classic hike with a donkey in the Cévennes. If you want to book guided wild camping in France or aim for Norway’s Lofoten beaches and peaks, these are real guided wild camping hikes Europe, running May to September depending on the route.
