Håvard Hauge
Håvard has a bachelor's degree in outdoor life, cultural and nature guidance. After many years of working in insurance and childcare, he quit working and followed his dream by starting to study and formalize his interest in the outdoors.
What gives Håvard the most and best replenishment of energy and zest for life is helping to give others good and safe experiences in nature. Especially those who have little previous experience or are going to experience nature for the first time.
Through his studies, Håvard is trained as an instructor in kayaking and canoeing, as well as ski instructor level 1. He specialized his studies in winter outdoor activities and accident management.
There are few activities that Håvard doesn't like, but much of his free time is spent on trips in the mountains, kayaking and many ski touring trips throughout the winter - both on his own and as a guide.
