Ever dreamed about a year with outstanding vistas, or carrying a heavy pack in the mountains, kayaking, glacier trekking and making food on a camp fire? Then this is your choice!
Adventure and Community. Are you ready for a year where you can truly experience nature up close? On our Outdoor Life program, you’ll have the chance to explore everything from mountains and fjords to plateaus, forests, and glaciers. The nature of Western Norway offers spectacular views, and you’ll have all the opportunities right outside your door.
Explore nature on your own terms. Do you want to become a confident and versatile outdoor enthusiast? Here, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills – whether it’s climbing, skiing, or camping under the starry sky. Our focus is on thriving in nature, building community, and being part of an active and supportive environment.
Versatility is key. The fall offers beautiful mountain hikes with tents, kayaking on a glassy fjord, and glacier hiking in the blue ice. As the days get shorter, there will be cozy bonfires, surfing, and climbing – both indoors and outdoors. Winter brings skiing with both daypacks and large backpacks, as well as overnight stays in snow caves. You’ll learn how to thrive in the winter mountains. When spring melts the snow, we wrap up with canoeing, climbing, and a solo night under the stars. We sleep under the open sky and hike along the coast.
The goal is for you to finish the year as a more confident and freer outdoor enthusiast – ready for new adventures, whether alone or with friends.
The best part? You’ll share all these experiences with others who also love outdoor life.
