In The Heart Of Northern Norway Malangen Resort serves as an excellent starting point and base camp for those looking to explore the Tromsø region and Senja Island. There are plenty of activities at the resort and beautiful hikes in the dramatic surrounding nature. The resort's location on the map also ensures that several attractions and fantastic natural experiences are easily accessible by car.

The resort takes its name from the Malangen fjord it sits beside. The word formation "ang" in "Malangen" predates the Viking Age. The first part of the name, "Mal," likely originates from the Old Norse word for border, "mala."

The fjord has historically been considered a place where the Norse, Sámi, and Kven areas of the North converged.

With the resort as the starting point, you can experience exiting adventures, and the melting pot of Norwegian coastal culture, Sámi and Kven cultures, along with the urban life in Tromsø, the largest city in Northern Norway.

THE SUMMER RESORT Northern Norway is not only beautiful during the wintertime. While dark northern winter is ideal for experiencing the Northern 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. We recommend renting a car in the city and using Malangen as a base for short road trips through pristine nature and idyllic fishing villages in the heart of Northern Norway.

A HIKER'S PARADISE The Malangen fjord is surrounded by majestic mountains.

Some of them, such as Bentsjordtinden, rise more than 1,100 metres above the fjord. 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.

MALANGEN RESORT WILDERNESS CAMP

C

omprising two large lavvus (Sami herdsmen’s tents), a rustic shelter and toilet facilities, the wilderness camp 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.

The camp 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.

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

On cold 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 the Malangen Resort Wilderness Camp!
