To continue the adventure, discover the stories of the north and follow the evolution of Rugged North Expeditions through Margot’s story.
who is your guide ?
Margot grew up in the heart of the French Alps, in a small village nestled near the Swiss border.
At 19, she left France to answer the call of the Far North, searching for a life with meaning, one shaped by wilderness, simplicity, and adventure.
Drawn by the North and the vastness of its wild lands, Margot settled in the Yukon, where she could finally live the simple, untamed life she had dreamed of.
Between sled dogs, hunting, trapping, building log cabins, and long expeditions into isolated regions, she strives to preserve a way of life where survival is earned and where the bond with nature is deep, beyond words.
Hunting guide in the summer and fall and guiding expeditions through Rugged North Expeditions in the winter, she lives for the adventure.
a glimpse into a northern life
Since arriving in the Far North, Margot has pursued wild adventures, pushing her limits and learning from the wilderness in the most remote corners of the Yukon and Alaska.
Her quest for forgotten instincts, pure freedom, and an ancestral rhythm in harmony with the wild world.
The birth of Rugged North Expeditions
By creating Rugged North Expeditions, Margot wants to share this way of life and her passion for the wild North. To offer those who seek a chance to taste the traditions of the Far North, explore still untouched territories, and if only for a while, hold the modern world at a distance.
This isn’t mass tourism. Our immersions happen in small groups, at a human scale, staying as close as possible to what’s real: the cold, the dogs, the silence, the wildlife.
During an expedition everyone matters. We share intense moments, sometimes harsh, magical and deeply real.
With Rugged North Expeditions, you meet the North as it truly is.
Share the North with the world
Margot’s journey is also featured in the series Hard North on Amazon Prime Video, as well as Northwoods Survival on National Geographic, where her daily life in the wilds of Canada is documented: life with the dogs, expeditions, northern living and endless winters.
Through these projects, she shares a side of her daily life: a simple, demanding existence deeply connected to the vastness of the North.
