Cash – It can be wise to have some Swedish crowns in cash,<br />
for culture day and kick off night if you like to use the bar.<br />
Credit cards are widely accepted in Sweden.<br />
Culture day – at Klocka Fjällgård, situated 40 km from Åre.<br />
You will get introduced to the Sami culture and Valborgsmässoafton,<br />
Walpurgis Night. Historically this night derives<br />
from various pagan spring customs. Bonfires were built to<br />
keep away the dead and chaotic spirits that were said to<br />
walk among the living then. Lately it became a celebration<br />
of the arrival of spring.<br />
This will be a night to remember – if you like to participate<br />
please sign up in the reception at Hotel Fjällgården. Please<br />
bring Swedish crowns in cash if you like to use the bar.<br />
