Camp Nikka
Camp Nikka is Malangen Resort’s very own wilderness camp
Comprising two large lavvus (Sami herdsmen’s tents), a rustic shelter and toilet facilities, Camp Nikka is just a 10-minute walk from Malangen Resort.
It is the base for our nature-based adventures and forms an integral 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 located 70 m above sea level in the pristine wilderness behind the resort.
During winter, the lake will be frozen, where you can walk and enjoy the fresh mountain air. In summer, you can fish with a rod around the entire lake. The chances are good here of catching trout and Arctic char.
The surrounding forest trails are the venue for our popular and personal excursions.
There is no electricity up at Camp Nikka, which means there is virtually no artificial lighting. The location 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 the nature-based experience in the daytime, you can warm up inside one of our lavvus. 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 excellent and will also help to keep you warm.
Welcome to memorable wilderness experiences at Camp Nikka!
