Do you want to challenge yourself with climbing, mountain tours, and ice climbing, while preparing for an expedition to Kilimanjaro?

Outdoor Life X at Sogndal folkehøgskule is for those who love action, excitement, and adrenaline-filled experiences. It’s not just about pushing physical limits, but also about creating unforgettable memories with new friends. Sleeping under the open sky, sharing meals around the campfire, and waking up to adventures in stunning nature – this is where the sense of community is born.

When winter comes, we put on our randonee skis for mountain tours, ice climb frozen waterfalls, and spend the night in snow caves. We also prepare for the spring’s grand expedition to Kilimanjaro in Africa. This is the course for those seeking nature, challenges, and adventure!

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

Sogndal is known for its fantastic snow, with amazing forest skiing, opportunities for jumps and drops, as well as long, flowing descents. Spring in Sogn is unique. The apple trees bloom by the fjord, while the mountain peaks are still covered in snow. The day often begins with a sunny ski tour in the mountains, followed by a refreshing swim in the fjord. This combination of winter and spring makes Sogndal an exceptional place for skiing.

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.
