OUTDOOR LIFE EASY

Send application

Want to learn about outdoor life, but does it seem frightening? Outdoor Life Lite takes more comfortable trips for beginners and provides a safe introduction to many activities.

OUTDOOR LIFE EASY is the line for those who want to experience as much as possible, but at the same time do it at a safe and calm tempo, where the whole class learns everything from scratch. You get to try traditional winter outdoor activities and a number of fast-paced outdoor activities.

Examples of line content:

We spend the night in tents, snow caves and under the open sky in the dancing northern lights. You can take part in dog sledding, where you yourself stand behind the sled with eager draft dogs that pull you through the plains. We pack our backpacks, strap on our mountain skis and go on both short day trips and slightly longer trips in our beautiful northern Norwegian nature. Never been skiing before? It does not matter. We all go with the common goal of enjoying our trip. We create the adventure together around the fire with good friends.

We go on a line trip to Lofoten. With its majestic nature and limitless hiking opportunities, it is a perfect destination that many people have on their bucket list. On the way to Lofoten, we have an overnight stay in Bodø and use the opportunity to climb inside Northern Norway's best climbing facility.

Lofoten consists of three main islands which are connected by tunnels and bridges. In the east is Austvågøy, where we visit Svolvær, Henningsvær and of course do activities in the area. In the middle of Lofoten's island chain lies Vestvågøy with Leknes as the largest town. On Vestvågøy it is a little less steep, and you can do activities such as horse riding along beautiful turquoise beaches, visit a Viking village and go on slightly less demanding summit hikes. Moskenes is the outermost of the three islands, and has the most dramatic scenery. Here are Reinebringen, Å, Bunes stranda, Kvalvika, and many other dramatic natural areas. If there is no storm, we can perhaps take beginner surfing courses at Unstad or Flakstad, which are two well-known surfing beaches.

 

In addition to this trip, we also have the option of island hopping on the Helgeland coast during the school year. Look forward to an exciting year in the North of Norway.

Towards the end of the school year, we take you on an adventure trip to The coast of Helgeland, also called the world's most beautiful archipelago. You can't have been in Helgeland for so long without getting this! We aim for several attractions on the trip, hopefully to end up at Træna. Træna is an island municipality 33 nautical miles off the coast of Helgeland. There has been settlement here ever since the Stone Age, 9,000 years ago. This wonderful island municipality that is flourishing like never before. You may have heard of Trænafestivalen?

On 15.2 km² you will meet the people of the sea. They count 453 people, and have an entrepreneurial mentality that you have never seen. You will have the opportunity to have a milkshake at Aloha café, drink Helgeland's best cappuccino at Træna Kaffekollektiv and eat a delicious dinner at Havfolkets hus. You will have the opportunity to sing together in Kirkehelleren, walk up to the NATO station at Gompen or walk the love path around the mountains at Sanna. If you want to go fishing or sit in the sauna at the boathouse, this is also an option. Or perhaps you would like to visit the Petter Dass chapel, which was decorated by the artist Karl Erik Harr? It's just a lot to look forward to!
