Send application

For you who wants to learn about outdoor living. See Norway, participate on trips, get wet-certification for kayaking, do basic glacier-training and basic 1. aid knowledge thru Norwegian Red Cross.

Here you will get the basic knowledge you need to have a good time out in the nature thru a practical approach. You will have subjects like safety, oudoor livving first aid and search/rescue for summer and winter together with the Norwegian Red Cross.

During the year we will give you opportunity to experience nature wildlife in different ways: walking trips, bicycling, skis for cross country and mountain tops, getting close to water in rivers, lakes and sea with kayak and kano. We test cave-adventures and and gorge walking, dog-sledges and horse riding. But most of all-you will experience the joy of being outdoor and feel the warmth from the bonfire together with the others.

Norway have a lot of beautiful outdoor nature- and mountain areas. We will use the Trondheimsfjord for padling, have training for glacier activities at the Smørdal glacier and visit Snøhetta (2286 moh) at the national park Dovrefjell. Other nationalparks close to the school are Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella and Sylan. Together with beautiful nature areas close to the school in Verdal all is set for great outdoor adventures in beautiful landscapes!

To be interested in natur and outdoor living is also have a heart for caring for the nature! Thru learning about enviroment-frendly and sustainable way of traveling, we can contribute to take care of often used hiking-areas. Other ways of sustainable outdoor living can be to make some of your own hiking equipment (beanie, gloves, seating mat, knife etc.) during the year

Friluftslivlinja kommer til å være mye på tur gjennom folkehøgskoleåret. Det blir korte og lengre turer med overnatting. I tillegg har linja tre større turer på en ukes varighet i løpet av året. Gjør deg klar til å utforske fjellet på en måte du aldri har gjort før! 

På høsten starter vi med en uke med brekurs på Smørstabreen. Vi camper i telt og lærer oss sikker ferdsel på bre, samtidig som vi kan oppleve deler av den majestetiske Jotunheimen. Høydepunktet av turen er et omfattende brekurs, hvor erfarne instruktører vil veilede deg gjennom alle aspekter av breferdsel. Du vil lære om føring på bre, kameratredning, sikkerhet, redningsteknikker, orientering i høyfjellet, førstehjelp og snøbakketeknikk. Dette er en praktisk erfaring som gir deg verdifulle ferdigheter for fremtidige friluftsopplevelser. Som del av kurset vil du også ta del i spennende toppturer i området, inkludert traverser og klatring i utsatt terreng til du når en av Norges høyeste topper, Storebjørn, og her venter en uforglemmelig utsikt over Jotunheimens tinder.

Høsten er vakker i fjellet og byr på mange muligheter. Tur to på høsten er ei uke på Dovre der vi satser på å nå toppen på Snøhetta. Det er et rikt plante- og dyreliv som vi håper å oppleve. Kanskje ser vi moskusen på Dovre.

På vinteren bruker vi tid til å forberede oss på ei ukes tur på ski med pulk. Turen vi planlegger kommer til å gå i en av nasjonalparkene i Trøndelag uka før påske. Overnatting vil foregå i telt og på hytter.

Our excursions are an impotant part of our year, with three main focus aereas: Culture and country knowledge, relationship and class orientated activities.
