Want to learn the outdoors, but think it is a bit frightening? On Outdoor Life Easy we go on totally human trips, giving you a safe introduction to a variety of outdoor activities.

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

This is not a line for you who will always go the longest, the highest or fastest; Here we focus on creating the best hiking experiences with good people. You also lern to make proper gourmet food in the wild.

On the autumn course Friluftsliv LETT, you follow the same programme as for the annual course. This is the line for you who want to experience as much as possible, but at the same time do it at a safe and calm pace 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. We fish and canoe. In the autumn we go mountain hikes on northern Norwegian mountains, and go island hopping with sea kayak on the Helgeland coast.

Although we take things slowly, you also get to try a number of fast-paced outdoor activities. We climb indoors and outdoors, try sea kayaking and river paddling. After your time at Friluftsliv Lett, you should have had many fun experiences in a safe and social class environment. We go on trips where you get time to enjoy the sights and de-stress in true Northern Norwegian nature. This is the line where we focus on creating the best friendships, taking the finest photos and have the most memorable moments. 

 

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.

Toppen - EVERYTHING and a little more!
