FAMILIES AND GROUPS
Elements offers family activity holidays in Norway at our four unique basecamps. Amid world-class natural beauty - fjords, mountains, forests and seas - you'll have the chance to connect as a group and enjoy Nordic outdoor adventures tailored to your family's needs.
All our trips include transfers, full board, lodging, equipment and guides. We can also book flights to Norway for your group. We’ll tailor the trip to meet the individual requirements of your group and our team will provide round-the-clock support from proposal to completion of your trip.
Age group and level
Our trips are aimed at family groups with children from age 8 upwards. All trips will be adventurous but carried out with the participant’s safety as highest priority.
The experiences will reward participants with stunning natural scenery and wilderness. In return we require all participants to have a good level of fitness and to be prepared for sometimes challenging activity. We will spend a great deal of time talking through the activity level with you when finalising a program. In addition to being expert outdoor leaders, our guides are trained to encourage participation and to help participants through more difficult challenges they may encounter.
For many Norwegian people, the outdoors is an essential part of everyday life. It is during these moments in nature that friendships blossom, stories are born and curiosity is piqued. A day outdoors is often referred to as ‘friluftsliv’ in Norwegian. Literally translating ‘free air life’ in English, the term captures everything that’s valuable about being outdoors in nature to escape and refresh. Inspired by this we’ve designed week-long adventures for groups each offering an insight into Nordic learning that cannot be experienced elsewhere.
FIND OUT MOREThe Folk High Schools and S/J Mathilde, a traditional schooner sailboat, together provide excellent facilities for our groups. The schools each have communal areas for rest and socialising, along with a canteen, sports hall and en suite. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. Each of the high schools is surrounded by great natural beauty. Many trails start directly from the schools and many rooms have awe-inspiring views of the surrounding landscapes. Other accommodation options include bunks and hammocks aboard S/J Mathilde, Lavvo (Sami ‘teepees’), tents, bivouacs, snow holes and igloos.
Participants will enjoy freshly prepared dishes using local ingredients where possible. Our chefs can cater for all dietary and religious requirements. Meals will be enjoyed together in the school canteen and guests will be expected to help clear up afterwards. Whilst in the wilderness, guests will prepare their own meals over an open fire or stove and learn how to cook outdoors using traditional techniques.
The team at Elements are on hand to deliver your program in Norway. We’re with you every step of the journey to design and execute the perfect itinerary for your group.
