Wildcamping trip in Wallis (4 days)
4 days in the mountains with everything you need on your back!
.
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.”
