Lofotsport Autumn

The half-year course for those who want to experience autumn in Lofoten through the best sports the island has to offer!

Surfing – Sport climbing and bouldering – Freediving – Mountain hiking – Courses in autumn outdoor activities

At Lofotsport Autumn, you experience Lofoten through the best sports that the region offers in the fall. We explore the endless possibilities for an active lifestyle that lie at the intersection between mountains, sea, weather, and wind. Here you learn the best activities that Lofoten has to offer – in the great outdoors.

Annual plan

  • August – October: we still have plenty of light and spend a lot of time outside with the class on day trips and long hikes
  • November – January: the days get shorter and there are more common subjects; now you can choose, among other things, 3 different electives
  • February – May: we get the light back and you can again, together with your classmates, immerse yourself in the subject areas
 

We don't have a summer or winter holiday. That way we save the environment from long trips and spend more of that wonderful time in Lofoten.

This is what you will learn:
  • At Lofotsport you learn the sports and activities that best suit the Lofoten sea, mountains, climate, and seasons
  • The line teaching provides courses and training in versatile activities and varied outdoor activities
 
  • You learn from various mentors and instructors
  • You will receive, among other things, steep climbing courses and CMAS freediving courses.
  • Learn more about the endless possibilities that lie in an active life in Northern Norway

Former students tell

 

All those good friends, the mountains bathed in evening sun, the cold sea spray, the feeling of standing on top and looking out, the water lapping at the sides of the kayak, sunsets and sunrises on the pier, cocoa and knitting by the fire when the darkness falls. Warm hugs, tough discussions, kind words and thought-provoking conversations.

This is the place. This is the whole package (and a little more).

It’s a lot about nature, but just as much about the people you share it with. There are so many places to meet and build good relationships – in line classes, in the homeroom, during electives, in the dormitories, or around the dinner table. 

Since I moved here, I’ve found myself thinking more often than before that life can be wonderful.
