What can you do in Elverum?

Elverum is not the center of the world, but is often underestimated - we think. That is why we have made a list of activities in Elverum - and it is far from complete.

Trail cycling in Stavåsen

Text and photo: Terrengsykkel.no

The combination of hunting and forestry means that the forests around Elverum have miles of narrow paths that seem to be made for trail cycling. The cycling is mostly not technical and the area is perfect for beginners.

Elverum golf

Starmoen, 2411 Elverum
(624) 13 588
elverumgolfklubb.no

Beautiful forest course located on Starmoen in Elverum, only 15 min from the center.
The course is built on sandy ground, which means that there are good playing conditions, even after long periods of precipitation. The special ground conditions are also shown by the fact that large, natural bunkers have been laid out, which gives the course a distinctive character in addition to increasing the degree of difficulty on the course. The track is relatively narrow, so it is wise to think strategically, and it is not necessarily that the driver is the best choice from the tee. The club organizes many tournaments that are open to guests, including The Nightmare, where three rounds are played in one day. This is a very popular tournament that is fully booked early.
