Tale Holsen Ivarhus

Tale, exuberant Tale, always has a goal, a peak, a record or something new she just has to try. And when she comes back, with a big smile and having had a "cracking good time," you can't help but smile too. The woman from Hardanger has a lot to offer and the world's finest accent. Whether it's in a kayak, on a crag wall, in the climbing field, or on a run to collect peaks, she makes everything look easy.

Vibe Ørum Rasmussen

Vibe is our sports star, always full of energy and creativity when it comes to finding new ways to move! Well-being and interaction are high on her agenda. In the heart of Sogn, this dynamo from Denmark has found her paradise. Here, she likes to start the day with a dip in the fjord, cycles to work, jogs up to the mountain, straps on her skis to the top, takes a round of yoga and meditation, before she whizzes down the mountainsides with the powder swirling around her. And as the icing on the cake – Vibe is also fantastically good at desserts!

Martin Buch Larsen

Martin is a skilled carpenter with a bachelor's degree in nature, culture, and outdoor guidance from the University College of Southeast Norway. He has also completed a one-year program in social sciences. In addition, he has specialized in snow avalanche forecasting at Prescott College, and alpine skiing at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. Martin is also an NMGI-certified bike instructor at level 1, and he runs an organic smallholding, where he combines his passion for nature and sustainable agriculture. 

Martin is very committed and good at seeing solutions, often with his guitar in one hand. Cycling and skiing were the reason he ended up in Sogndal, but the reasons for staying are completely different. If you need tips for the local winter route, ask Martin.

Sivelin Kjølstad

Sivelin is the Trønder who fell in love with Sogndal and stayed. Good music, good atmosphere and happy faces – then you know who is in place! She draws, paints, sews and is creative like few others, but don't think this lady sits still much. She whizzes down and across on skis, crosses glacial lakes on snowshoes and speeds up on her bike! A raw talent at revue and honest through and through. And what would Mondays be without her "good morning and welcome to a new and exciting week at Sogndal FHS"?

Frida Isungset

Frida is our fresh breath and sets the mood with piano playing and "good vibes"! This Bergen lady, who originally comes from Lærdal, is the closest you get to a quiet Bergen resident. But if you awaken her engagement, then you've got her with you! She is good at skiing, and her mountain skis are well used. She is passionate about recycling and the environment, and is a true festival lady who thrives best in a tent. At the same time, she is happy to take you on a journey in the musical world, either through sing-alongs or music listening.
