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.

6

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

T

he 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.

Restaurant opening hours: Monday - Friday: 07:00 - 23:00 Saturday: 08:00 - 23:00 Sunday: 08:00 - 23:00

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.

Breakfast: 07:00 - 10:00 (Monday -Friday) 08:00 - 11:00 (Saturday - Sunday) Lunch: 12:00 - 16:00 Dinner: 16:00 - 23:00 (kitchen closes at 21:00)

CAMP NIKKA WILDERNESS CAMP

C

omprising 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!

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.

29

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.

30

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 midMay it’s light virtually around the clock. From late May, the sun stays above the horizon until the end of July.

INCLUDED

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.

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. 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.

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.
