    The program with altitude. Sogndal is an Eldorado for climbing and for climbers. Field trip to the Alps and the Mediterranean.

    Local crags are 10 minutes away, with over 500 climbing routes. Alpine summits (and skiing facilities) are only a 10 minute drive away. 

    During the fall semester, we start with the basics of climbing. You will learn the thorough skills demanded for climbing: from belaying, top-roping to classic lead climbing. We will climb multi-pitch routes. You will learn to boulder, and develop your climbing technique, as well as learning how to rescue someone in the event of an accident. 
    If the weather is moody, we have a large indoor climbing wall and bouldering walls to practice on, and you can use these facilities as much as you wish in your spare time.

    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.

    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.
