Friluftsliv X is for those who love action, excitement, and adrenaline-filled experiences.

It's not just about pushing physical limits; it's about creating unforgettable memories with new friends. Sleeping under the open sky, sharing meals around the campfire, and waking up to adventures in breathtaking nature—this is where community thrives.

Before the snow falls, we embark on summit hikes in Jotunheimen. You’ll experience everything from day hikes to multi-day expeditions with tents and base camps as we seek out the most remote peaks. You'll also participate in glacier courses, climbing, bouldering, river paddling, tandem skydiving, and surf trips.

When winter arrives, we put on our backcountry skis for summit hikes, ice climb frozen waterfalls, and spend nights in snow caves. We also prepare for our big spring expedition to Kilimanjaro in Africa. This is the line for those seeking nature, challenges, and adventure!

Join us for an unforgettable study trip to Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain! This expedition offers you the chance to experience the majestic landscapes and unique culture of Tanzania while challenging yourself on one of the world’s most iconic summits.

Along the way, you’ll learn about altitude acclimatization, team building, and climbing techniques, all while sharing memories and experiences with your classmates. This is not just a physical challenge; it’s an opportunity to experience community and personal growth in stunning nature.

Between towering mountains and the deep Sognefjord, everything is set for a year filled with experiences, personal growth, and lifelong friendships. At our school, learning goes beyond the classroom—it becomes a home. And this home is filled with people, just like you, who are ready to create unforgettable memories.

Here, the classroom isn’t confined by four walls—it extends to the entire landscape around us! From steep mountain peaks to deep fjords, the opportunities are endless. You’ll learn by experiencing, exploring, and actively participating in everything we do together.

Throughout the year, you’ll enjoy warm evenings by the fjord and crisp winter days surrounded by powder snow. You’ll feel the contrasts, the freedom, and the pure joy of being present in the moment. No matter which program you choose, we offer a daily life where you can embrace everything Sogndal has to offer—both in nature and together with your fellow students.

We are committed to making this a year that truly matters.
