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.

Please note that guests will drive the sled rather than ride with a guide. Dog sledding is an activity that requires a certain level of physical fitness and is not recommended for individuals with back or neck injuries or for pregnant women.

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 touring 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.

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!
