    Nordic-style dog sledding with a pulk, and traditional sledding + beautiful scenery = unforgettable outdoor experiences!

    As a student on the dog-handling course, you will get to know the entire pack of Alaskan Huskies well and help run the school’s kennel. Activities include feeding, daily care, day trips and overnight excursions with the dogs, training, skijoring, Nordic-style sledding (using skis and a pulk), and dog sledding.

    You and your assigned dog will share many wonderful experiences out in nature. You will also learn various training methods—including high-repetition practice in everyday obedience—to ensure you and your dog are confident with each other in any situation.

    The huskies are not just working dogs—they are also our best friends!

    Linja deltar som frivillige på Finnamarksløpet. Vi får med oss registrering og starten av løpet i Alta, før vi er frivillige på et sjekkpunkt i løypa.  

    På skolens fellesturer blandes alle elevene fra de ulike linjene sammen og danner teltlag på tvers av årskurs. Dette bidrar til at alle blir kjent med hverandre og skaper trygghet, vennskap og gode relasjoner.

    Vi har fire fellesturer. Les mer her!

    Vi drar til Arnøya i Nord-Troms for å oppleve en vill og rå kystnatur. Her blir det jakt, turer, foredrag og gode opplevelser. Arnøya har en heftig historie og natur. Og ikke langt unna - utenfor Skjervøy har det de siste årene vært et eldorado for spekkhoggere og knølhval. Der silda går inn kommer hvalen etter. Er vi heldig kan vi ta seilbåten og se hva vi finner.

    På tampen av skoleåret flytter vi hele skolen til Gisundet og Bjorelvnes  i Lenvik kommune. Her bor vi i rorbuer og nyter den nord-norske våren, seiler Nordlandsbåter, bader, fisker og mimrer om året som har gått.

    Courses & Certifications

    Outdoors +

    Can’t get enough of the outdoors? If you’d like to join in on ice fishing, summit tours, skiing, hiking, or dog sledding, this elective is for you! We plan our activities based on the weather conditions, and prefer to have lunch outdoors.

    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!
