Mosjøen is located in the middle between world-class rivers and sea kayaking areas. With over 30,000 islands, islets and reefs, it is no wonder that the Helgeland coast is constantly mentioned as one of the world's most beautiful paddle pearls. In addition, world-famous paddle rivers flow out right next to the school, and we collaborate with River North in the neighboring municipality of Grane. In your free time you can borrow the school's new sea kayaks and go on your own trips on the weekends

During the autumn we go on a study trip to Lofoten. With its majestic nature and limitless hiking opportunities, it is a perfect destination that many people have on their bucket list.

 

You can try surfing in the most spectacular surroundings at Unstad/Flakstad, kayaking in the sea around mighty mountains and go on mountain hikes you will remember for a long time. Simply taking in the wonderful nature Lofoten has to offer is an experience in itself. This is a trip that offers some of the most unique places we have in the Norway, which everyone should get to experience.

Vefsn Folkehøgskole TOPPEN is an active and creative school, placed on the top of a hill on the outskirts of Mosjøen in the middle of Norway. But still far enough up north that the northern lights dance across the sky regularly during the winther.

We want you to experience COURAGE, MASTERY and OPPORTUNITIES when you are a student with us. In a safe community and with many new experiences, you have good opportunities for personal growth and lifelong learning. For us, professional quality and well-being for everyone is important.

To make the most of the year, we think it's important that you have a vibrant and varied environment around you.
