Four Unique Study Trips – Outdoor Adventures in Every Season and Landscape

Trolltunga (2-day autumn hike)

A spectacular hike to Trolltunga, just a few hours drive from school. People from all over the world come to experience the nature and the view from Trolltunga. This is memory for life! We’ll spend the night in tents and wake up to have breakfast by the campfire.

Fedje (3-day trip)

Overnight stay at Hellisøy Lighthouse, where you’ll experience the open sea, fishing, a RIB boat tour, and one of the country’s smallest island municipalities with a strong and proud identity. We visit this island out at sea, meet entrepreneurs and fishermen, and get to know a part of the country that few of us are familiar with.

Øygarden (2-day tent trip)

We head out to the wild coast, paddle sea kayaks between small islands and rocky islets, and find our very own island to set up camp. We cook on portable stoves, fish, freedive, and relax by the campfire. A true nature adventure.

Interrail through Europe (8 - 10 days)

We finish the year with a rail trip across Europe, visiting vibrant cities and stunning natural spots. We explore how people in other countries connect with nature and the environment – and plan the trip together, exactly the way we want it!

In addition to the four overnight trips, we of course make active use of the nature around the city throughout the entire year.

We're going to Voss to experience the nature of the west coast and get to know each other better.

Sightseeing
Volleyball Games and competitions

Hiking

At Fana, there is room for you to be social, explore new interests, and have fun. In a safe environment, you can be yourself, build friendships, and develop your social skills.

This is a year where you invest in both your academic and personal growth.

Get to Know Bergen

As a student at Fana Folk High School, you'll experience all that Bergen has to offer. In the city, you can enjoy theater, concerts, and exhibitions. Bergen also hosts a variety of festivals. During the school year, there are international film festivals, theater festivals, and several music festivals in the city.

When you have some free time, you can explore the city on your own—hike up Fløyen, grab a coffee at one of the cozy cafés, or simply enjoy life in our vibrant city.

Creative Courses and Exciting Electives

We offer a wide range of courses that create a diverse and creative environment at the school.

In addition to your main courses, you can choose from many electives, giving you the chance to try something new and develop new skills.

Educational and Inspiring Trips

We go on trips throughout the year, both within Norway and abroad. At Fana, we have school-wide trips and class-specific trips where you travel with your course group.

These study trips give you deeper academic insights and the chance to experience other cultures and environments.

Get to Know Norwegian Language and Culture

During your stay in Bergen, you'll make friends, larn some Norwegian, and explore Norwegian culture and society. We have many international students - some come to learn Norwegian, while others simply want a year at a folk high school in Norway.

Our language courses are designed for both beginners and those with some prior knowledge of Norwegian.

Information about Language

Most of our teaching is in Norwegian, but we offer some translation to English.

Check the course descriptions, or send us an e-mail, for more information about the langugage requirements for each course. We'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
