Vi bor midt i sykkelmekka og på Rødde trenger vi ikke reise langt for å finne de gode stiene. Bymarka, Vassfjellet og Oppdal ligger rundt oss, og Åre er bare en tur over grensa. Her får du et helt eller halvår (aug-des) med stisykling, bikepark, hopp og turer – og linjetur til Spania eller Alpene.
Dette gjør vi:
Linjetur til Alpene og Spania
Stisykling i Nilsbyen, Bymarka
Parkkjøring i Vassfjellet, Oppdal og Åre
Vannhopp på Kyvannet
Styrke, mobilitet og skadeforebyggende
Teknikktrening
Vi tester hopp, downhill og dirtjump
Når vi er blitt tryggere på sykkel, utfordrer vi oss med hopp og triks på sykkel i parken. Vi tester downhill og dirt jump.
Når snøen kommer bruker vi tid på vedlikehold og reperasjon, Trikkestallen i Trondheim, innendørstrening på skolen og i Pirbadet. Vi tester ski og park i Vassfjellet sammen med andre elever på skolen.
Dette vil du lære:
Bli tryggere og raskere på sti
Mestre svinger, drops og hopp
Finne flyt og gode linjevalg i terrenget
Utvikle balanse og sykkelteknikk
Vedlikehold og reperasjon av sykkel
For alle nivåer
Dette er linja for deg som liker å sykle, uansett om du har syklet mye eller lite. Alle nivåer er velkommen og linja passer for både gutter og jenter.

The perfect way to end the school year!
We don’t want anyone to be left behind while the rest of the school travels. That’s why the school trip to Portugal in April is included – no extra cost for you. We have many years of experience traveling together as a whole school when the year is coming to an end. New memories and great fellowship are waiting for you!
We’ll fly together to Lisbon and then take a bus to Costa de Caparica, where we’ll stay. During the trip we’ll go on excursions to places like Nazaré and Lisbon, and fill our days with surfing, good food, and activities before heading back to Rødde.
You must have a passport valid until October 2027.
Highlights include:
Excursion to Lisbon
Beach activities
Rent a surfboard and catch the sunrise waves!
Neighborhood hunt
Activity day – gymnastics on the beach!
Portuguese cuisine – taste the local food culture!
Near Trondheim – close to the city, close to nature.
Rødde Folk High School is located just outside Trondheim – the “big little city” offering food, history, art, culture, nature, shopping, and much more. At the same time, you’ll have mountains and forests right nearby, with opportunities for hiking, climbing, and skiing in Vassfjellet. It truly gives you the best of both worlds: the energy of the city and the calm of nature.
A school day at Rødde can mean fresh snow under your feet, hours in the studio creating new tracks, cultural exchange on exciting trips abroad, and countless opportunities to try something new. At Rødde, you don’t just pursue your interests – you share experiences and learn together with people who may become your closest friends.
Here, you’ll have the freedom to learn and grow without the pressure of exams and grades. You’ll build knowledge and skills while also experiencing personal growth and development. This is a place to create, explore, and step outside your comfort zone in a safe environment. No wonder our students often say: “This is the best year of my life!”
