På tur Sammen – New hikes spring 2024

In the months of May and June we invite You to join our social and fun hikes in Bergen. The benefits of going for a hike are many! Amongst all can this lower stress levels, improves memory and increase our mood. Hiking with someone creates a feeling of social belonging which boosts mental wellbeing. For us as students it is especially interesting that hiking improves memory. This gets more important as we get closer to the exam period! Join us in boosting our health together. Who could join? The hikes is for everyone who is a student and wants a social group to hike with. We will walk at a slow and comfortable pace. It is free to join for all students. What does previous students who have joined our hikes say?

- “It was a great experience, very well organized, nice people, almost perfect weather”

- “I really liked the hiking offer! It was good to have a fixed date to go on hikes and also to have guides, because on my own it would have been harder to be motivated to go hiking regularly, I think. And now I want to continue going on hikes because it was so fun and rewarding. So, thank you <3”
