At Hallingdal Folkehøgskole, in the midst of the width of Hardangervidda and the mountains of Jotunheimen, you'll find unique experiences right on your doorstep. 

A year at Hallingdal Folkehøgskole is about so much more than the line you choose.
At our school, community comes first.
You’ll live with people who might become your best friends for life, sharing meals, adventures, laughter and late-night talks.

Join a game in the gym, read a good book in the library, sing in the school choir, or take part in our fun electives on Fridays and Mondays.
Get inspired by guest speakers at Saturday seminars, express yourself creatively on program evenings, cook together in our kitchen or relax in the cozy common room after a long day in the mountains.
However you spend your time, the Hallingdal spirit will always be with you!

Towards the end of the school year, students and staff travel together to Lake Garda in Italy. We stay near Peschiera del Garda and spend a few days enjoying activities, swimming and time together across the different study programmes.

During the trip, students can choose from activities such as climbing, via ferrata, mountain biking, Gardaland or a visit to one of the nearby towns. There is also time to swim, enjoy Italian food and relax together before the school year comes to an end.

The trip is a lovely way to finish the year and gives students from different study programmes an opportunity to get to know each other even better.
