Want to learn about outdoor life, but does it seem frightening? Outdoor Life Easy takes more comfortable trips for beginners and provides a safe introduction to many activities.

Outdoor life easy is the line for those who want to experience as much as possible in one year, but at the same time do it with no rush, where the whole class learns everything from scratch. You get to try traditional outdoor life with accommodation in tents, lavvo and under the open sky in the northern lights. In autumn we go on nice mountain hikes on northern Norwegian mountains like the Seven sisters, and go visiting islands with sea kayaks in the archipelago paradise on the Helgeland coast. In winter, you can sleep in a snow cave and ski in powder snow.

Although we take things slowly, you also get to try a number of fast-paced outdoor activities. We climb indoors and outdoors, go on hikes with good food and focus on social activities. After one year at Outdoor life easy, you have had many fun experiences in a safe and social class environment. We go on trips where you get plenty of time to enjoy the sights and de-stress in true Northern Norwegian nature. This is not the line for those who always want to go the furthest, highest and fastest; this is the line where we focus on making the best friends, taking the best photos and getting the most memorable moments. We leave boring campfood at home and instead we make some proper gourmet meals in nature.

Helgeland is an eldorado as a starting point for outdoor life. We have fantastic nature, high mountains, deep valleys, rushing rivers, large glaciers, untouched national parks and the northern lights.

Vefsn Folkehøgskole TOPPEN is an active and creative school, placed on the top of a hill on the outskirts of Mosjøen in the middle of Norway. But still far enough up north that the northern lights dance across the sky regularly during the winther.

We want you to experience COURAGE, MASTERY and OPPORTUNITIES when you are a student with us. In a safe community and with many new experiences, you have good opportunities for personal growth and lifelong learning. For us, professional quality and well-being for everyone is important.

To make the most of the year, we think it's important that you have a vibrant and varied environment around you. Here you can find urban and great nature, safety and excitement, humor and seriousness, professional quality and well-being, combined with committed teachers. Security and challenges, good social environment and professional development are equally important.

The school is well equipped in all classes and there is wifi throughout the school. In addition, we have several common areas like a fitness room, rooms to socialize, student kitchen ... yes, all we need to do well. Our accommodation kitchen is one of the best, and we are spoiled by skilled chefs and good food all year round.

Another thing we emphasize is to have employees who are not only proficient in their subject but mean something more for the students. With us you will find people who have energy and humor, and teachers who want to bring out the best in you. Our students should feel included and appreciated, and we are all concerned that our students should feel at home and have a good time.
