Hedmarktoppen Folk High School

Hedmarktoppen during the summer.

Hedmarktoppen Folk High School (Norwegian: Hedmarktoppen Folkehøgskole) was a folk high school in Hamar.

It was established in 1970, owned and run by the Norwegian Pentecostal movement.[1]

Gospel music events are held there, and the gospel supergroup Frisk Luft was formed during such an event by Kjell Fjalsett, Rune Larsen, Ivar Skippervold and Arnold Børud in 1972.[2]

The Pentecostals at Hedmarktoppen were also the first to broadcast radio outside of the Norwegian radio monopoly. This happened on 16 December 1981, before the first cabinet Willoch actually implemented its liberalizing broadcasting policies (which went through on 1 January 1982).[3]
