ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This is the program for winter enthusiasts who want to reach high mountain peaks, strap on their skis and enjoy the long descent! Our focus is on thrilling activities in a strong community with skiing, ski touring, trail riding and surfing.
With the help of skis and skins, we will experience magnificent views and descents together as we climb several of Norway’s highest peaks. Jotunheimen will be our local playground, but the mountains in Hemsedal and Sogndal are also not far away.
Skiing and ski touring activities will be our main focus, but you will also have the opportunity to try a variety of different and exciting activities.
Morocco is a surfer's paradise and the perfect place to learn how to surf. With endless beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, conditions tend to be excellent when we go there in November. In addition to at least seven days of surfing instruction, we will also get to experience the Moroccan culture and explore the desert dunes.
In January, we will go on a ski trip to the Alps, with huge mountains and fantastic opportunities to improve your skills both on and off the slopes.
The ski resorts around Schladming offer amazing glades and a huge network of ski lifts. We will be staying only 50 meters from the lifts! So after breakfast, you can just pick up your skis and walk over to the gondola, which will bring you over 2000 meters above sea level.
Until the snow starts falling, we will take advantage of the fantastic trail network here in Valdres. We will be renting some excellent full-suspension mountain bikes here in Valdres, and during trips to Trysil and Sogndal.
We will also go on surfing trips to Morocco and Hoddevika, complete a 3-day kiteboarding course, do outdoor and indoor climbing, try canyoning, paintball, go-karting, bobsleigh, skeleton and ice climbing. You will also receive instruction in avalanche assessment, ski techniques and trip planning.
This program is for those who have never ridden a trail or wave before, as well as those with experience in both. You should have some prior experience with skiing, but no experience with skins and ski touring equipment is necessary. You should also be in decent physical shape, ready for a lot of skiing, comfortable sleeping outdoors, and prepared to hike uphill to "earn your turns".
