Push your limits in the Arctic wilderness! Feel the freezing temperatures and the frost in your hair. Master outdoor routines. Experience the rugged national parks of the North.

Join us for epic adventures in Northern Norway’s rugged wilderness!

Sleep under the open sky, or in *lavvos* (Sami-style tents), log cabins, and tents. We head out on trips roughly every three weeks—sometimes even more often! Most are group excursions, but you will also push your limits on solo trips.

You will gain extensive outdoor experience throughout the year—and no prior knowledge is required!

Untouched nature awaits...

This course is perfect for those who want to live off and with nature. What happens if you fall through the ice or get caught in an avalanche? You will learn about safe mountain travel and how to take responsibility for yourself and your tent team. As our instructor BT says: Thoroughness ensures safety!

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!
