Varsity Invites A/W 2026 : Up and Over Aurlandsfjellet

As told by Monika & Bartek, content partners from Warsaw

Our story with Varsity started years ago, when the team reached out about creating content with their summer caps. Over the years, we’ve shot multiple campaigns for them but never actually met in person. Varsity Invites gave us the chance to finally meet face to face.

Leaving Voss, we set off to Aurlandsfjord in the Defenders, a stunning UNESCO heritage site. As long-time Defender owners, we’ve travelled across Europe in our own, capturing our journeys along the way. For us, Defenders have always been about community and bringing people together, and this road trip was just that.

The road took us across a mountain pass, with the landscape changing dramatically along the way. The sunny Norwegian fjords gave way to vast, snow-covered terrain before we descended into a misty, rainy countryside.

Beyond the scenery and the drive itself, Varsity Invites was an opportunity to share the journey with people who share similar passions. After years of working together digitally, finally sitting around the same table, exchanging stories, and learning more about the history behind the brand made the experience all the more meaningful.
