Outdoor life & back country skiing

From Europe’s Cities to the Mountains of Arco

On this journey, we’ll travel through several countries by train and boat – an adventurous and enriching way to explore Europe. Along the way, we’ll visit both vibrant cities and quieter mountain areas, giving us the chance to experience local culture and nature up close.

We begin the trip by train through Germany and Austria, arriving in the charming alpine town of Innsbruck. Here, we’ll have time to explore the mountains on foot and with climbing gear before continuing on to Arco in Northern Italy – known for its climbing scene and stunning natural surroundings.

In Arco, we’ll spend several days developing our skills in climbing, hiking, and Via Ferrata. We’re also planning a day trip to the Dolomites, where we’ll challenge ourselves on airy routes in one of Europe’s most iconic mountain ranges.

This trip is perfect for those who want to learn more about climbing and outdoor life, while experiencing diverse landscapes and being part of an inclusive community. No prior climbing experience is necessary – just curiosity, determination, and a desire to join a journey that’s out of the ordinary.

One of the year's highlights for the class is the study trip to Lofoten, where we put everything we've learned throughout the year into practice. Spectacular ski trips from the mountains to the sea await, allowing us to experience the unique landscape Lofoten is known for. We embark on longer ski tours in challenging terrain, use maps and compasses, assess avalanche risk, and put theory into practice.

Winter surfing in Lofoten is an extraordinary experience, and it’s something we’ll get to try. This trip isn’t just about skiing and surfing – we’ll also try Lofoten fishing, and if we’re lucky, we’ll get to see the northern lights.

Bli kjent tur til Fjærland

Hele skolen drar til Fjærland, en perle ved Sognefjorden, der vi virkelig blir kjent med hverandre. I dette unike landskapet, omgitt av bre og fjord, bor vi like ved den vakre Fjærlandsfjorden. Her går vi på fjellturer, padler kajakk og er sammen. Denne turen handler om fellesskap og å knytte bånd fra første dag. Du får oppleve Vestlandet på sitt aller vakreste med en gang du starter på skolen.

Hemsedal

During the 3rd week of the spring semester, we travel to the ski resort of Hemsedal. We stay in chalets at the base of the lift area, perfect for "Ski-in - ski-out" For 3 full days we develop our skiing technique and learn new tricks. The students are divided into small groups and can choose between Telemark (free-heel skis) and downhill or ski-touring skiing. We hire a few instructors in addition to our own staff so you get plenty of instruction. There are two instruction periods during the day, and the rest of the time you are free to ski with your fellow students. 

Evenings are spent together in the lounges at the chalets after an evening meal.

Cruise on the Sognefjord

Towards the end of the school year, we depart for a two-day cruise on the Sognefjord. We have a whole vessel to ourselves, and we sail into Aurlandsjord and Nærøyfjord -where we camp overnight in the scenic fjord-hamlet of Dyrdal -a tiny, roadless community which offers plenty of opportunities -and space - for activities and mountain hikes for those who wish. We live onboard the vessel, in the local empty village school, -or, for those who prefer, camp in tents or under the sky. We barbecue our own food and enjoy a social evening aroung a camp fire. On day two, we disembark and hike along the enchanting postal trail to Styvi, where we have lunch, and for those who wish, a refreshing dip in the fjord!
