NORTHERN LIGHTS WATCH

Malangen Resort is situated in one of the most visited Northern Light hotspots in the Tromsø area. "The Watch" enhances our guest's opportunity of seeing the mystical Northern Lights. We prepare for this magical journey with a briefing about this natural phenomenon and the current conditions before we set off to our very own basecamp, Camp Nikka, located just a 20 minute walk from the resort.

Camp Nikka is strategically located behind our resort in a location that experiences less cloud activity. Our guides statistics in recent years show that chances of experiencing Northern Lights here are around 85 per cent!

Please note that our tour does not include "chasing" the lights in a minibus because of our unique location. Instead, we have chosen this basecamp experience to allow all our guests to enjoy the Northern Lights combined with comfort

DOG SLEDDING THROUGH THE WHITE SILENCE

Lead a team of eager huskies through the snow covered Arctic landscape while admiring the breathtaking scenery.

Did you know that Malangen Resort is one of few dog sledding providers in Northern Norway where the dogs are not chained up but instead live two good freinds together in pens?

Located near Camp Nikka, we have an intimate group of eager huskies just waiting to take you into the wilderness. We will start the adventure with a lesson about how to manage your own husky team. We drive in pairs (one driver and one passenger) with a chance to swap places halfway. The adventure concludes with a delicious light snack by an open fire.

We have built our camp small enough, so there is no room for mass tourism and stress of any kind. You can focus on enjoying one of the best

experiences the far north has to offer!

All our dog sledding trips include thermal clothing, a lesson in managing your husky team and a hot meal after we take care of the dogs.

UNCHAINED DOGS

The dog yard at Malangen Resort has been designed with the welfare of the dogs in mind. The dogs here are unchained. They live in pairs in pens where they can move freely around. To ensure that the dogs get enough physical and mental exercise every day throughout the year, we have a big yard where they can run and play in groups together.

SAMI STORYTELLING AND REINDEER FEEDING

oin us on a journey through Sami culture. The Sami are the indigenous people living in Europe’s northern extremes.

Enter a lavvu (Sami herdsmen’s tent) with a Sami specialist and hear fascinating stories about the way of life of the indigenous Sami people, their history and beliefs in the glow of the open fire.

You will see traditional Sami artifacts and taste authentic Sami food cooked on the fire. You will then have a chance to visit and feed the reindeer that graze near the lavvu and learn about the traditions of reindeer herding and the art of lasso throwing.

As a souvenir of this memorable experience, our guide will assist you to make your very own handicraft from reindeer antler.

RESORT TO SUMMIT

Stay in comfort at the resort and experience some of Europe’s wildest and most beautiful mountains. Unlike the Alps in Central Europe, the mountains in Northern Norway plunge straight down into the sea.

Malangen Resort is surrounded by mountain peaks that are ideal for summit ski climbs. With many peaks to choose between, there are good options for novices and experienced ski touring enthusiasts alike.

THE SEVEN SUMMITS

Seven of the mountain peaks on the Malangen peninsula are about a 30 minute drive, making them easily accessible with transport from the resort.

Various routes up the mountains have been mapped by ski touring and avalanche expert Espen Nordahl, who has literally written the book Ski Touring in Troms.

Nordahl has combined his own experiences with the knowledge of experienced locals when working out the routes up and down the mountains. These routes and maps provide the foundation for being able to describe the best ski touring options on the Malangen peninsula in detail, as well as for being able to ski up and down the mountains as safely as possible.

Guests on Malangen Resort’s “Resort to Summit” follow in the footsteps of some of Norway’s most experienced Arctic mountain skiers.

Malangen Resort’s ski tou ring adventures have been designed in collaboration with Espen Nordahl (b. 1960). He has been one of the most eager ski touring enthusiasts in Tromsø since he moved to the city in 1982. He has worked as a project manager at the Centre for Avalanche Research and Education (CARE) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and as an avalanche forecaster for the Norwegian Energy Regulatory Authority. Nordahl is the editor of the book Safer Ski Touring in Norway.

Nordahl has written the book Ski Touring in Troms, which is the bible for the skiers in the ski touring capital Tromsø.

RESORT TO SUMMIT GUIDED TOUR

Our experienced guides will lead you and your travelling companions up to the summit of selected mountains in the Malangen area. All the mountains are within a 30 minute drive of the resort where, as a guest, you have a base and can enjoy all the facilities the resort has to offer.

Tours are offered to seven different mountain peaks near the resort, meaning that you can spend a whole week at the resort and have a new mountain to ski up and down every day. Those who are not as keen on ski touring can spend the days relaxing in the sauna, going dog sledding and enjoying delicious food made from local ingredients at the resort’s restaurant.

The best time for ski touring is from around mid March to early June, depending on how early spring comes in the mountains. In March, the days quickly become longer, and from mid May it’s light virtually around the clock. From late May, the sun stays above the horizon until the end of July.

This is the most beautiful time of the year for ski touring, with long, bright days, plenty of snow in the mountains and milder temperatures in lowland areas at the resort.

INCLUDED

• Guided ski tour with certified English-speaking mountain guide (IFMGA/IVBV).

• Return transfers from the resort to the selected moun tain.

• Ski storage at the resort

RECOMMENDED

• Warm ski clothing, skins and food and hot drinks for the tour.

TASTING EXPERIENCE

Order a guided tasting experience from the world’s northernmost distillery – Aurora Spirit. You will learn about making first class alcohol north of the Arctic Circle and the experience includes tasting. Local tastes and interesting facts are guaranteed!

You will gain an insight into the mythical past of Viking drinking customs and learn about high tech alcohol production at the top of the world. During this exciting, guided tasting experience, you will see, feel and smell the Arctic ingredients that are used in the production of Bivrost.

There are two different tasting experiences:

You will receive an introduction to the history of aquavit and get to taste four different varieties aquavit, each with its own distinctive character.

2. Taste your way through the history of the world’s northernmost distillery. Hear the fascinating story about the creation of the Aurora Spirit distillery. During the storytelling, you will get to taste four different alcohols –gin, whisky, aquavit and vodka – each with its own story.

THE SUMMER RESORT

Northern Norway is not only beautiful during the wintertime. While dark northern winter is ideal for experiencing the Nort hern Lights, the summer has the magical Midnight Sun and beautiful light around the clock.

Spend your summer holiday at Malangen Resort, in the heart of the realm of contrasts. Take part in activities and enjoy the dazzlingly beautiful north Norwegian wonderland from spacious cabins, hotel rooms or waterfront apartments on the coastal rocks.

All accommodation options are just a stone’s throw from the resort’s hotel building. The resort is about an hour’s drive from Tromsø.

However, given the local topography, there are summit hikes to suit all levels. Some prefer a short afternoon hike with the children up to the nearest vantage point, while others wish to spend the entire day hiking in the mountains and reach the summit of the highest mountains on the map.

FULL-DAY HIKING TOUR

On our full day hiking tour, you will reach the summit of some of the most scenic mountains on the Malangen Peninsula and be rewarded with spectacular views of two fjords –Malangen and Balsfjord.

The route starts in a beautiful native birch and pine forest. Once you pass the tree line at an altitude of 300 400 m, you will start to appreciate the spectacular views. The summits in the Malangen area are 800 1,200 m above the sea level and the higher you go the more spectacular the view. When you reach the summit, you will be rewarded with 360° panoramic views of the Malangen Peninsula and the mountain ranges in the surrounding area.

During the hike, it’s often possible to catch a glimpse of animals that live in Northern Norway like the reindeer, moose and golden eagle.

The hikes to the top of the mountains are demanding and require a high level of fitness. Appropriate clothing and footwear must be worn. Some routes involve a climb of up to 1,000

AURORA AUTUMN WATCH

Malangen Resort is situated in one of the most visited Northern Light hotspots in the Tromsø area. "The Watch" enhances our guest's opportunity of seeing the mystical Northern Lights. We prepare for this magical journey with a briefing about this natural phenomenon and the current conditions before we set off to our very own basecamp, Camp Nikka, located just a 20 minute walk from the resort.

Camp Nikka is strategically located behind our resort in a location that experiences less cloud activity. Our guides statistics in recent years show that chances of experiencing Northern Lights here are around 85 per cent!

Please note that our tour does not include "chasing" the lights in a minibus because of our unique location. Instead, we have chosen this basecamp experience to allow all our guests to enjoy the Northern Lights combined with comfort and relaxing around a fire in our cosy lavvu.

SAUNA & HOT TUB

W

e take our statement that every room at Malangen Resort comes with a view seriously. Our large glass fronted sauna is located right by the waterfront, so you can enjoy unsurpassed views of the spectacular fjord and mountains while relaxing in the warmth of the sauna.

The view adds an extra dimension to your sauna experience. Could we claim to have the world’s most scenic sauna? A changing room with shower and toilet facilities is located adjacent to the sauna. Towels are included in the price. Our open air hot tub is located alongside the glass fronted sauna. The hot tub is ideal for groups, families or couples wanting to share a special experience together.

Like the glass fronted sauna and virtually every other facility at Malangen Resort, the hot tub offers spectacular views of the fjord and mountains.

If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the majestic Northern Lights during a relaxing dip in the warm water. The open air hot tub and sauna may be hired as a package on request. It is necessary to book in advance, as the hot tub needs time to reach the optimal temperature.

The glass fronted sauna and open air hot tub have a secluded location right at the end of the resort down from the Aurora event cabin.

RESTAURANT AND THE AURORA LOUNGE

The menu at Malangen Resort is built around traditional Northern Norwegian cuisine.

Our chef emphasises using local ingredients and products in all our dishes to ensure the freshest and healthiest food for our guests. The sea is the main supplier to our menu due to the proximity and easy access to the freshest seafood available.

THE AURORA LOUNGE (The Naust)

The “naust” is a 100 year old boathouse that has been renovated and relocated inside the hotel building.

All the decorations are authentic and donated by locals who have handed the memorabilia down from generation to generation. This cosy building serves as our “living room” for our guests to relax in during the wintertime with board games, books and candles.

The Northern Lights Lounge adjacent to the resort’s lobby has a rustic interior combining modern and traditional styles.

CAMP NIKKA

WILDERNESS CAMP

Comprising two large lavvus (Sami herdsmen’s tents), a rustic shelter and toilet facilities, Camp Nikka is just a 15 minute walk from Malangen Resort.

It is the base for our nature based adventures and forms an important part of our complete resort concept. Instead of sleeping at one place, eating at another and spending hours driving in between activities or chasing the Northern Lights, everything at Malangen Resort is within walking distance.

Camp Nikka is situated on the shores of the picturesque Nikkavannet (Lake Nikka). The camp is situated 70 m above sea level in the pristine wilderness behind the resort.

During winter, you can walk on the frozen lake and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

The surrounding forest trails are the venue for our popular and personalised excursions. There is no electricity up at Camp Nikka, which means there is virtually no artificial lighting.

This enhances your Northern Lights experience and makes Camp Nikka a real hotspot in the Tromsø region for experiencing this natural phenomenon.

On cold winter nights or during nature based experiences in the daytime, you can warm up in one of our lavvu tents. Sitting on a warm reindeer skin on a wooden bench beside the open fire, you will quickly warm up and get new energy for your next adventure. This also adds an exciting dimension to the overall experience.

Coffee brewed on the open fire up in the wilderness tastes great and will also help to keep you warm.

Welcome to memorable wilderness experiences at Camp Nikka!
