Do you want to join us in winter's coolest and most beautiful classroom? We have handpicked the best that Norwegian outdoor life has to offer, and through our trips, we will experience the vast divers

Winter offers endless opportunities in Norway. When the snow settles, we bring out the mountain skis and embark on ski tours. You'll learn telemark turns and go on longer ski trips with overnight stays outdoors. Don’t fear the cold – together, we'll learn to handle it. Winter also brings exciting activities like staying in snow caves, exploring blue ice caves, kiting, and avalanche awareness.

When the spring sun comes out, it’s time to test outdoor climbing. We’ll sleep under the open sky, go hiking along the coast, and challenge ourselves with a solo day in the wilderness. Spring brings new experiences, and we make the most of every season.

We will focus on getting to know some of the most spectacular outdoor areas in Norway. Traveling sustainably, with a focus on experiencing as much as possible with minimal emissions. There will be great conversations around the campfire, nights under the open sky, cabin trips, and camping adventures.

Every year we have a limited number of foreign students. Our teaching program is practically oriented, we do not have a bespoke language learning program for foreign students. However, there are students from abroad almost every year; primarily from the US, the UK, and other European countries.
This means that for the individual student, most of the language learning takes place interacting with the Norwegian students and the teachers. If you actively work on learning Norwegian from the beginning, the challenges of language barriers will not stop you from full participation in the school program.
