Autumn course in outdoor activities
This course is for those who want to combine unique experiences with learning about outdoor life in Lofoten. You learn how to navigate safely in all conditions, push your limits, and become more independent while hiking!
Autumn in Lofoten offers unprecedented opportunities
Outdoor activities at this time of year are an adventure in the changing light and weather of northern Norway. From bright nights and late summer when school starts, you journey through magical autumn colors to the darkness of winter with the glowing northern lights towards Christmas.
The program of the course is varied and educational.
The mountain and the wilderness are always within reach. During the course, you will learn, among other things, how to safely navigate the mountains, prepare and cook delicious food for your trip, camping, and comprehensive first aid training. Basically, you will learn all about versatile outdoor activities in Arctic conditions. In half-year course outdoor activities, interaction, reflection, respect for each other, and nature are fundamental to building a safe and warm learning community.
You will gradually understand how a number of small details, taken together, make life on the road easier. You will also become well acquainted with students and teachers from other departments at the school through various common and elective courses.

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.
