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.

Set a course for a week at sea or in the mountains. Our Sailing courses in France put you at the helm in Brittany, from Belle Ile to the Glenan, with white sand coves, turquoise anchorages and swims off Groix. Another route follows the wild coast of the Morbihan and on to Groix, a hands on stage where you trim, tack and steer with a patient skipper. In Corsica you learn maneuvers between the Iles Sanguinaires and the Scandola Reserve, with coastal hikes ashore. In the Mediterranean you sail from Saint Raphael toward Monaco, then clip in for guided cliff climbing above the water.

Prefer snow to sea spray? Our guided snowshoe week faces the glaciers of La Meije in the Ecrins, with a comfortable base, big alpine panoramas and chances to spot wildlife. Across these weeklong adventures you progress every day. Sailing courses in France are taught in small groups by teaching skippers, with smart anchorages and well chosen shore stops, so you build real skills while exploring Brittany, Corsica and the Mediterranean.

What our travellers say

Real reviews from people who joined our guided expeditions.

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.
Une belle randonnée dans les Écrins pour ceux qui souhaitent s'initier à la randonnée en montagne et au bivouac, dans le confort et en toute sérénité. Le guide nous a préparé de bons petits plats et nous a donné des informations intéressantes sur la région.
Excellente organisation ! Thomas est un très chouette guide (accompagnateur), et 3 journées magnifiques!
Super, un séjour au top !
Une expérience exceptionnelle et un séjour extraordinaire. Le skipper est très pédagogue, passionné et sait transmettre son enthousiasme tout au long de la sortie. L’accueil est chaleureux, simple et authentique, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable. Je recommande sans hésitation !
Une super aventure pour découvrir le bivouac dans des spots magnifiques !
Une superbe expérience, de beaux paysages, un guide qui s'adapte. Je recommande ce séjour
J'ai beaucoup apprécié que cette rando se fasse en petit groupe, nous étions 6, pour moi c'est parfait. Le niveau proposé correspond tout à fait à ce que je m'attendais. Pour ma première vraie rando, Bruno notre guide, a su suffisamment me conseiller et soutenir le groupe surtout le 2ème jour où nous avons rencontré un bel orage dans les hauteurs des Vosges. Ce fut une belle expérience que je suis prête à poursuivre.
Une aventure géniale ! Je ne pensais pas apprendre autant en 2 jours seulement, avant de terminer avec une magnifique ascension le 3 ieme jour. Avec Thibault notre guide qui a mêlé instruction, confiance, et détente à la perfection !
Bonjour, Je m'appelle Isabelle M. Je suis très satisfaite de cette aventure. Nous avons eu un excellent guide, à l'écoute et très prévenant envers nous. Ce fut une très belle expérience, avec un circuit bien organisé et un hébergement en auberge agréable. Je recommande cette aventure sans hésitation.
Magnifique trek aux paysages époustouflants! Notre guide Christelle était très expérimentée sur tout et aux petits soins pour nous. Une belle découverte de la rando itinérante, je me suis habitué au dénivelé quotidien et au sac à dos de 10kg dès le deuxième jour.
Une très belle expérience. L'équipe et la nourriture du Refuge du Sotré parfait. Notre guide Maxime au top ! De beaux souvenirs et plein de conseils. A renouveler. Valérie R. et toute la section athlétisme du club

Who is this for?

These trips are for doers who want to learn by doing in a small group. An intermediate level is recommended. At sea you should be comfortable on the water, able to swim and keen to join maneuvers and life on board. If the mountains call, you will enjoy a guided snowshoe journey in the Ecrins. If you want weeklong adventures in France to progress, switch off and share crew spirit, you are in the right place.
