Nordic Adventures is the outdoor program for those who want to experience the highlights of Nordic nature, and experience the variation between the countries in Scandinavia.

Marokko

In January, when it is coldest, we go on an adventurous outdoor trip to Lapland in Northern Finland! Here we get to experience real winter outdoor life, with Northern Lights hunting, powder and dog sledding. We also bring fishing equipment for ice fishing on icy ponds.

Iceland

Join us on a unique study trip to Iceland! You get to experience the country's nature through spectacular mountain hikes, volcanic landscapes and hot springs. Explore glaciers, waterfalls, and black-sand beaches while learning about the outdoors in one of the world's most fascinating ecosystems.

Norway

Put your backpack on your back and walk with the line through exciting fields in Rondane. We bring tents and find great places to sleep. Maybe you are also challenged on a night under a starry sky? Everyday life in Norway is otherwise filled with a great variety of outdoor activities.

This is how it works at our school:

  • At Verk Folk High School, international students are not placed in separate classes. Instead, they are fully integrated into regular classes alongside Norwegian students who speak both Norwegian and English.

Our experience shows that this creates real friendships and helps students learn the language faster and more naturally.

  • That is why "Norwegian for Foreigners" is not a separate study line, but an additional course for those who want to learn Norwegian.
  • This means you can freely choose from our wide range of main courses, without limitations.

What makes Hurdal Verk even more unique is that all students take two main courses, not just one. This allows you to combine different interests, enjoy greater variety in your school year, and meet even more people — giving you a richer social and learning experience.

  • When you apply, you select your Line 1 and Line 2, and simply add Norwegian for Foreigners if you want Norwegian language training.
