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.

Looking to level up in the mountains without the planning headache? Our trail running camps in France bring together everything you need to progress fast. Think small groups, expert coaching, hand picked routes and welcoming nights in mountain lodges or huts. You will sharpen uphill and downhill technique, manage elevation and pacing, and learn smart fueling and recovery, all in real alpine terrain.

Choose the setting that speaks to you. Chamonix under Mont Blanc to fine tune your mountain skills. The Vosges up to the Hohneck with a night in a mountain hut. The Jura around Grand Colombier for a first taste of serious vertical. A wild Jura program with Manon and Patrick Bohard that blends technical outings with nutrition, performance, recovery and yoga. From Grenoble into the Chartreuse for panoramic ridges and a relaxing spa evening at the lodge. Devoluy, the so called French Dolomites, for sculpted limestone scenery. The Mercantour alongside ultra runner Dawa Sherpa. Or the volcanic trails of Auvergne with Manon Campano and Alexandre Beraud.

These trail running camps in France run over three to four days from April to November depending on the range. Bring worn in trail shoes, a small running pack, hydration and a waterproof jacket, we handle the rest. Friendly welcomes, tailored tips and varied terrain are built in. Pick your date and start building confidence on climbs, descents and everything between.

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
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
Super stage, une belle déconnection, une équipe de choc et un encadrement au top ! Conforme à l'attendu, et encore mieux !
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.
Notre guide,,Violette, au top, dans son approche, la technique et la convivialité . Patrick C.
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.
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

Expédition ski de rando au col du Grand-Saint-Bernard avec Wildhartt et c'était incroyable ! Jolies rencontres avec les autres participants et un guide au top du top. Une organisation parfaite de A à Z on en repart avec des magnifiques souvenirs plein la tête !
Tout a été une première pour moi.De passer par une agence, premier stage de trail. Ca a ete un séjour magique. Un guide excellent, des compagnons d'aventure top. Vraiment rien à redire, je vous les conseille vivement. Merci Marie de m'avoir relancé pour stage cela aurait été dommage de passer à côté. Go pour une prochaine.
