Elverhøy Student Housing is a perfect base for outdoor recreation. Elverhøy student housing is next to large areas of forest, which are popular for excursions year-round. There is easy access to hiking terrain and illuminated cross-country ski trails, connecting to other parts of the island. The lake Prestvannet and surrounding park area is great for walks or jogging.
The gym connected to the Elverhøy Student Housing, which features basic weight lifting and cardio equipment, is open to members of the Kraft student sports centre.
