alangen 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

Did you know that Malangen Resort is one of few dog sledding providers in Northern Norway where the huskies can wander freely in the dog yard instead of being chained up? 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 hot meal by an open fire.

You will see traditional Sami artifacts and taste authentic Sami food cooked on the fire.

We feed them every day and the resort guests are welcome to join us and feed these majestic animals (see page 24).
