Storskogåsen student housing is perfectly located for the outdoorsy types. The housing area is located right next to Tromsømarka, which is a popular destination all year round, and in the immediate vicinity of the "light trail", a popular trail network that covers the entire length of Tromsø island. 5 minutes' walk away is the Charlottenlund park, a popular skiing, skating and sledding area for children and young people in the city in winter. There is also an outdoor exercise park here.
