Climbing and alpine outdoor activities

From cliff walls in Lofoten to the spring sun in Southern France

A year of climbing, skiing, mountains and great adventures – ended with an 18-day train journey through Europe to Paris and the climbing paradise of Orpierre.

In Climbing and Alpine Skiing outdoor activities, you get an entire school year with the mountains as a playground and learning arena. We start among the granite walls in Lofoten, enter winter with skiing, avalanche training, and peak tours – and end the year with the big finale:
Traveling through Europe. Paris. And almost two weeks of climbing under the southern French spring sun.

Autumn – Learn to climb in Lofoten

We start the school year with the school’s most comprehensive climbing course. Over four weeks of climbing, we build skills from scratch. You learn safety, movement on rock, rappelling, stand-up climbing, and traditional climbing – with the mountains of Lofoten as the classroom.

You don't need to be an experienced climber when you start. The goal is for you to develop throughout the year, become more confident, more independent, and eventually be able to make good decisions together with others in the mountains.

 – Highlights of the autumn

• Four-week comprehensive climbing course in Lofoten
• Hiking and mountain climbing
• Outdoor life, tent camping and fantastic autumn days in Lofoten

THE WINTER – SKIING, SNOWBOARDING AND ALPINE ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES

Then comes winter. The climbing shoes are put away for a while, the skis come out – and the mountains around us are covered in snow. Throughout the winter, you’ll have plenty of time to ski. We work on ski techniques, avalanche safety, buddy rescue, hiking planning, and good choices in the winter mountains. Eventually, the trips get bigger and you’ll have more responsibility for your own assessments, route choices, and decisions.

 – Highlights of the winter

• Top tours in Lofoten and Northern Norway
• Snow-related knowledge and alpine skiing outdoor activities
• Intensive ski technique in Narvikfjellet

Narvikfjellet offers fantastic skiing with steep mountain slopes, long descents and spectacular views of the Ofotfjord. A perfect place for those who want to develop their skiing and perfect their technique. The swing technique – whether you like prepared slopes or challenging terrain.

On our courses and longer trips, students are always divided into smaller groups with their own guide. This provides a safe and good learning environment where you are seen, receive close follow-up, and where it is easier – and safer – to ask the questions that may feel difficult in larger groups.
