Fjordside bonfire & barbecue

Malangen

About this activity

Gather around a bonfire by the water and enjoy one of the simplest and most atmospheric experiences in Malangen. At the Arctic resort, guests have access to several prepared fire pits close to the shoreline, making it easy to spend time outdoors with the fjord, mountains and open sky around you. A fjordside bonfire is a natural part of Arctic outdoor life. It gives warmth, light and a calm place to sit down, talk, enjoy a warm drink or simply listen to the sounds of nature. Many guests also use the fire pits for a simple outdoor barbecue — grilling food over the fire and enjoying a relaxed meal by the water.

For guests who enjoy fishing, this can become an even more memorable experience. Many choose to grill their own catch by the fjord, turning a quiet fishing trip into a simple Arctic meal outdoors. Fresh fish, open fire, sea air and mountain views — it does not need to be more complicated than that.

With the sea just nearby and the mountains rising around the fjord, this is a peaceful way to experience Malangen at your own pace. Bring something to grill, dress for the weather and let the fire, the view and the quiet surroundings do the rest.

In winter, a bonfire can be a perfect part of an evening spent watching for the Northern Lights. While you wait for the aurora, you can stay warm by the fire, look up at the dark sky and enjoy the silence of the Arctic night.

Please use the prepared fire pits and follow local fire safety rules and weather conditions.
