Push your limits with extreme sports, outdoor life, and unforgettable experiences. Get your diving license, go skydiving, and travel to Australia and Thailand for a life-changing adventure.

port Extreme Australia is for those who want to explore their limits and embrace adventure. Throughout the year, you'll try a wide range of exciting activities—like diving, climbing, kiting, biking, and rappelling—and build both mental and physical strength.

The course combines extreme sports, outdoor life, and basic training. You’ll develop technical skills, learn to assess risks, and become confident in handling challenges—both alone and in a team.

In the fall, we focus on trail biking, longboarding, climbing, team building, and a survival trip. Winter brings snowboarding, skiing, winter camping, and indoor activities like climbing, skating, and diving theory. You’ll even be challenged with ice bathing and cold-weather overnight trips.

A highlight is the four-week study trip to Australia and Thailand. Here, you'll earn your diving license, surf, bike, go bungee jumping and skydiving, visit local communities and orphanages, and get a deeper understanding of the people and culture in the places we explore.

You don’t need previous experience—just motivation and a willingness to challenge yourself. In return, you’ll gain memories, friendships, and life skills that last a lifetime.

At Bakketun, you’ll get to explore your interests, try new things and become part of a warm, inclusive community. Early in the school year, we go on a shared trip to Spain – the perfect way to get to know each other and kickstart an unforgettable year.

You’ll meet teachers who care, support you and encourage you to take chances. You’ll have space to reflect, discover what matters to you, and grow both personally and academically. A year at Bakketun gives you direction, confidence and meaningful experiences – preparing you for further studies, work, and life ahead.

Explore and combine

Choose between several exciting programs and a wide range of electives. Are you active and adventurous, or creative and curious? You don’t have to choose one or the other – at Bakketun, you can combine, explore, and find your own balance.

We’re surrounded by mountains, forest, sea and small-town life. You’ll feel the thrill of a mountain hike, the peace of the woods, the wind on a surfboard and the laughter around a campfire. Some days challenge you – others are just about enjoying the moment together.

A real community

What students remember most about Bakketun is the people. You’ll be part of a safe and supportive community where everyone matters. You’ll make friends to laugh with, grow with, and share everyday life with – friends who cheer you on when you try something new.

You’ll live close to others, share meals, trips, and everyday moments. The community you become part of leaves a mark – and often lasts a lifetime.

Welcome to Bakketun – a year that might mean more than you expect.
