Iceland - Adventure trip to Saga Island

Mandatory: Nei

Price: 12 000

Duration: ca. 10 dagar

Meals included per day: 2

- Geysir, glaciers, rafting, Reykjavik, Gullfoss, hot baths and much more.

A trip to Iceland is special. In Iceland you will find a varied, dramatic and unspoiled nature with glaciers, hot springs and mighty waterfalls, which makes the journey a unique experience with memories for life. The exotic nature offers many chances of relaxation and exciting activities. 

The Icelandic nature is varied and exotic, and in nature you will see traces of how the natural element has shaped Iceland in the event of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and erosion. Over eleven percent of the country is covered by magnificent glaciers. The largest is Vatnajökull (8400 square kilometers and 1000 meters thick). 

On the trip around the island in a minibus you get to experience both famous tourist destinations, but even more exciting is discovering lesser-known, but equally spectacular and exciting spots. There will be many fantastic photo spots, so bring your camera or mobile. There may be swimming in different hot baths every day, new nature experiences and good stories. We will cook some of the food outside and explore local traditions.

Åkrafjorden

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Via Ferrata / Ravine. Before the autumn holidays, we take a trip into the Åkrafjorden. Here, as a student, you can choose between the fierce Via Ferrata Church Wall, or the slightly gentler alternative route. If climbing is not your thing, there are opportunities for canyoning or hiking.

Våre turar er unike opplevingar som ofta er vanskeleg å gjennomføra på eigahand, som fjordcruise med veteranskip i nydelege Hardangerfjorden. Du vil reisa på ulike turar nært og fjernt. Nokre turar er knytt opp til dei enkelte linjene, mens andre er felles for skulen.

Winter adventure

Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

When winter hits, I travel to Hovden for days of skiing and alpine skiing. Here it is possible for flat tours, slalom, gentle tours, tobogganing, summit tours, steep tours or very steep tours. Something for all levels!
