Tromsø & Malangen Resort

Fly to Tromsø. Transfer via ‘Flybuss’ to the Clarion Collection Hotel With, conveniently located minutes from the Arctic Cathedral, Polar Museum and right on the harbour front. The remainder of the day is at your leisure. Depending on your flight arrival time enjoy the complimentary afternoon waffles and a light evening buffet supper served between 1800-2100 each evening.

Today is at leisure and free for you to choose your activities for the day. The city itself is a treasure trove of museums, cafes, bars and restaurants and spectacular views can be had from the cable car or a fjord cuirse. Please enquire with us for our full list of optional safari excursions, including whale watching, snowmobiling and reindeer encounters..    

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before checking out and transferring to Malangen Resort. The journey takes just over an hour and is a scenic revelation, following the twist and turns of the Lyngenfjord and mountains. On arrival settle into your chosen accommodation and familiarise yourself with the delightful surroundings. You may wish to relax and take lunch (payable locally) or book one of the additional excursions on offer. A delicious 3-course dinner will be served in the hotel restaurant, after which you will embark on a mission to see the Northern Lights. Malangan Resort’s location ensures that artificial light pollution is minimal and the Aurora can appear overhead at any time during the hours of darkness, however this ‘watch’ enhances your chances further. Knowledgable guides will first brief you on this natural phenomenom, then, having studied the aurora forecasts together you will start the hunt to wherever the activity is strongest. Like all natural phenomenom, there is no guarantee of a sighting but the foray into the wilderness will be a memorable one. At some point you will stop and enjoy a hot snack and coffee served by an open fire. If, on returning to Malangen, the aurora did not appear, the guides will continue to search for activity on your behalf. If the aurora does arrive, a Sami song will rouse you and you’ll be prompted to jump into your Northern Light survival kit and meet in the lobby in 10 minutes to re-join the hunt.

We have decided to let you choose how you would like to spend your time in this idyllic location. There are many that will value doing nothing, just soaking up the peace and tranquillity of the resort, perhaps enjoying the sauna or booking a hot tub. Others may wish to work up an appetite by snowshoeing, renting a fat bike, taking a husky safari or a snowmobile excursion. Either way, you cannot fail to fall in love with the dramatic landscape and simple delights that this break brings.

The Malangen Resort provides two transfer departures, giving you the opportunity to take full advantage of your final day in the Arctic. Depending the time of your departure flight a 09.00 transfer could allow you some more time in Tromso, or a later 16.15 departure could mean a leisurely day in Malangen* before heading to the airport for your return flight home.
