Wildcamping trip in Wallis (4 days)

4 days in the mountains with everything you need on your back!

 and nothing else around you. No restaurants, no other hikers. Just mountain lakes, open sky, and the kind of silence that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Dates: 24–27 August 2026

Ice-cold lake swims (for those who dare). Marmots at close range. Sunsets with no one else around. Freeze-dried meals (carefully selected by me) cooked on a camping stove that somehow taste better than anything you’d order in a restaurant.

And a digital detox that actually works — because up here, there’s simply no signal.

This trip is for people who are physically fit and happy to carry a pack of around 12kg for 6 hours a day.
Not for everyone — but if it’s for you, you’ll know.

The programme

Every day we walk to a new campsite beside a mountain lake or along a river. The exact locations are a surprise until registration — but I can promise each one is worth it.

Day 1 — We meet in Wallis, check your gear over coffee, divide the food, and head into the mountains. By early evening we reach our first campsite beside a mountain lake. First night under the stars.

Day 2 — A dip in the lake (optional but recommended), breakfast, pack up and move on. Another stunning campsite waiting at the end of the day.

Day 3 — Through varied terrain: meadows, rocky ridges, panoramic views. A slow lunch somewhere beautiful. Dinner under the stars again.

Day 4 — The back-to-nature magic has done its work. A few last hours of walking, then lunch on a sunny terrace back in civilisation. Farewells.

My personal reason for joining this trip was to get comfortable with the idea of wild camping solo — something I’ve dreamed of doing for years but have been too nervous to actually do. Now I totally feel that I could do it on my own.”
