Fjell og ekspedisjon has been a cornerstone of Lofoten Folkehøgskole since 1984, making it the school’s most traditional program. Here, we spend extensive time in the mountains, gradually mastering the art of efficient and smooth long-distance travel with touring skis and pulks.
With around 45 nights spent outdoors, we truly experience the elements. We embark on numerous hikes in the stunning Lofoten mountains, while our longer winter expeditions take us across Finnmarksvidda and the wild mountains near the Swedish border.

Fjell og ekspedisjon guarantees powerful nature experiences. Throughout the year, we systematically build the knowledge and skills necessary to fully appreciate long expeditions. The camaraderie and teamwork we develop make us stronger. We may not move mountains, but we will climb them with greater ease.
Our journeys take us far north. A year above the Arctic Circle offers everything from blood-red skies to northern lights and starry nights. We seek knowledge about nature—how to use it, respect it, and preserve it. Our experiences in the wild prepare us for even greater adventures in the future.
