Hi, I'm Virginie. I left my native Switzerland to come and live in Grenoble, France. That's where I discovered the best job in the world: mountain leader!


Since the end of 2023, I've been devoting all my time and energy to this job. I'm always on the move, travelling to the summits on trails, hikes and rock climbs, just to keep things varied! Passing on my passion enriches me day by day, and I'm lucky to be able to do it.


This tour of the Dents du Midi was my first solo itinerant hike, my first crush. I'm delighted to be able to share it with you!

How big is the group?

The number of participants is limited to 6 to ensure a friendly, personalised experience.

Are there any dizzying passages?

Yes, there are some moderately vertiginous sections, particularly at the Pas d'Encel and on certain ridges. These sections may impress some people who are sensitive to heights, but they remain accessible to hikers used to mountain trails. It is important to be comfortable on varied terrain and not suffer from severe vertigo to fully enjoy the expedition. The guide will be present to accompany and advise each participant on these passages to ensure a safe crossing.

Can I arrive the day before or extend my stay?

Yes, it is possible to arrive earlier or extend your stay after the expedition. To make things easier for you, we offer optional extra nights when you book. If you wish to organise your stay outside these options, we recommend that you contact the local accommodation providers or the Champéry tourist office directly for the best options for accommodation and additional activities.

What meals are included?

All meals are provided from dinner on the first day to breakfast on the fifth day. Breakfasts and dinners are served in the refuges or hostels, generally based on local produce and adapted to your energy requirements. Picnics for lunch are not included and can be taken to the hostels each morning for CHF 15.

What are the options for special diets?

The accommodation offers meals suitable for vegetarians and can, as far as possible, cater for certain dietary restrictions (gluten-free, lactose-free). It is essential to indicate any dietary restrictions at the time of registration, or when requested by the Wildhartt team via the expedition's Whatsapp group, so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.

Situated in the heart of nature, they offer total immersion in breathtaking scenery, with breathtaking views of the Dents du Midi, the Alpine valleys and sometimes even spectacular sunrises or sunsets. The dormitories are equipped with duvets or blankets, but it is necessary to bring a sheet for reasons of hygiene. Facilities include toilets, and hot showers are available in some huts (sometimes at an extra cost). The communal areas are designed to offer a moment of relaxation and sharing with other hikers. This is the perfect opportunity to exchange experiences, relax after a day's walking and enjoy meals prepared with local produce.

Can I privatise this expedition for my group?

Yes, all our expeditions can be privatised for a group already formed, on the dates of your choice.

To make your request, go to the expedition that interests you and click on "Privatise the expedition". We'll take care of the rest!
