Friluftsliv X is for those who love action, excitement, and adrenaline-filled experiences.

It's not just about pushing physical limits; it's about creating unforgettable memories with new friends. Sleeping under the open sky, sharing meals around the campfire, and waking up to adventures in breathtaking nature—this is where community thrives.

Before the snow falls, we embark on summit hikes in Jotunheimen. You’ll experience everything from day hikes to multi-day expeditions with tents and base camps as we seek out the most remote peaks. You'll also participate in glacier courses, climbing, bouldering, river paddling, tandem skydiving, and surf trips.

When winter arrives, we put on our backcountry skis for summit hikes, ice climb frozen waterfalls, and spend nights in snow caves. We also prepare for our big spring expedition to Kilimanjaro in Africa. This is the line for those seeking nature, challenges, and adventure!

Join us for an unforgettable study trip to Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain! This expedition offers you the chance to experience the majestic landscapes and unique culture of Tanzania while challenging yourself on one of the world’s most iconic summits.

Along the way, you’ll learn about altitude acclimatization, team building, and climbing techniques, all while sharing memories and experiences with your classmates. This is not just a physical challenge; it’s an opportunity to experience community and personal growth in stunning nature.

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.
