Malangen Folk High School is beautifully situated between the sea and mountains. 

We have nature right outside the door, and around us we have some of Northern Norway's largest areas of raw wilderness.  Specializing in the arctic outdoors, we want to give our students an experience-filled year. Our programs are unique, and we focus on joy, courage and respect.

We have our own dog kennel which is run by the students, our own sailing boat Klara and full packing for the wildest wilderness trips. We provide all common equipment. You only need your own personal equipment and clothing.

The main building is surrounded by a large outdoor area with the lake, stables, dog kennel, running yard - and close by is a bonfire and boathouse on the shore. You can fill your time with wonderful experiences such as deep-sea fishing, hunting, berry picking, hiking and overnight stays in our local area. We give you unique experiences through the changing seasons, and encourage the student to be outside a lot. 

You will live in a boarding house with students from the various classes, and we will eat breakfast, dinner and supper together in the dining hall in the main building. Here you can also be social together, relax with knitting, music, sit by the fireplace or disappear into an exciting wilderness book.

We build up your outdoor skills, and together with you we help you realize your potential. You get to know yourself, and will experience mastery in the face of nature.  Here we quickly get to know each other well and trust each other.

We offer great nature experiences in the heart of Troms! There are many possibilities here! The small school with big opportunities!
