Traditions and innovations. Long weekends with us are extra special. Just like in the old days - which is how it should be here in Dalarna. We love our traditions and make sure that we celebrate Easter, Midsummer, Christmas and New Years with flair and style - which is one of the reasons so many of our guests return year after year. We welcome old friends and new, and invite them to enjoy our innovative take on old traditions. Easter at the Green Hotel. Midsummer at the Green Hotel. Christmas at the Green Hotel. New Years Eve at the Green Hotel. Easter at the Green Hotel is one of the highlights of our year. It is the time when all our guests meet - returning and new, young and old, families, couples and singles. It is a
celebration with plenty of good food and a fantastic atmosphere. We have live music with dancing, and a junior
disco for our younger guests. For the 14th year running and back by popular demand, we have great pleasure in introducing the
Bar Quartet: Bruno Andersson on the piano, Jacek Malisz on guitar, bass, violin, keyboard and vocals, Nils-Inge Johansson on bass and vocals, and Bjorn Dahlin on the drums. From jazz to classical, they play it all! On Good Friday there will be music, entertainment and a dance in the evening. On Saturday the dance floor, made of glass, is lowered from the ceiling over the
pool area and once the music starts it's impossible to keep your feet still. On Easter Sunday we dance at the
bar, Evergreens, while
Bar Quartet play jazz, bossanova and more. Such great musicians! Over Easter our guests also get to enjoy a traditional Easter discussion, art exhibition, music and entertainment, egg painting, guided walking
tours of Tallberg, swimming in the
pool, table
tennis, darts and billiards. There are deck chairs on the
terrace that catch the sun - the perfect spot for reading a good book. Experience a traditional midsummer
celebration in the heart of Dalarna. Here is how we celebrate at the Green Hotel: Many guests have arrived earlier in the day, and the real Midsummer
celebrations begin at 6pm, with a delicious welcome
dinner. The stage is already set: the hotel is beautifully decorated with branches from the forest, the surrounding meadows are filled with summer scents and beyond Lake Siljan the blue mountains rise up, as if watching it all. After
dinner,
coffee is served in the
lounge or on the
terrace overlooking the lake. All the villages celebrate with traditional music, costumes and food. The live folk music continues at our hotel, and all our hostesses wear their beautiful folk dresses. Nothing beats Midsummer in Dalarna. If you prefer to stay at the hotel, there is an indoor and outdoor
pool, sun
terrace,
tennis, activities on the park-like grounds, table
tennis, a children's playground, comfortable lounges, and a very well-stocked
bar with refreshments. There is also the stable, old bakery, hen house and guided
tours. After a Midsummer
banquet at the hotel, the village raises the maypole. We dance to music from folk musicians alongside villagers and travellers from near and far. At the hotel the Midsummer
bar is open and there's dancing in the
lounge, and on the shores of Lake Siljan we dance on the decorated jetty. In the villages around Lake Siljan the maypoles are raised the week before Midsummer as well as after Midsummer Eve. At the Green Hotel we always raise the maypole on Midsummer Day - since 1947! After
breakfast we all go out, young and old, to pick flowers from the meadows to dress the maypole. Then, accompanied by music from the folk musicians, we raise the pole - often the tallest in the village. After the maypole is raised, we all dance together and celebrate. Our
breakfast buffet is always ready to be enjoyed. At the Green Hotel summer is one big
celebration, so take the opportunity to enjoy wonderful days - and weeks - with us. Merry Christmas at the Green Hotel! As you approach Tallberg you can already feel the peace and joy of Christmas that greets you at the Green Hotel. When you step into our lobby you are met with warmth and light from the huge, roaring fireplace. By the time you settle into your
room the smells of Christmas have reached you from the
dining room and
lounge and you know you have made the right choice. At the Green Hotel, Christmas is always a big and special
celebration. As a guest there are many opportunities to celebrate - in peace and
quiet or by joining in one of the many activities we offer, including
games, dancing, music, and
meeting Santa Claus, of course. There is also an early service on Christmas Day, a horse and sleigh complete with bells, and plenty of time for peaceful walks... or full speed ahead in a sleigh downhill. That is why Christmas with us is perfect for all ages. Welcome to the Green Hotel and have a very merry Christmas! Many guests choose to make the most of the Christmas package and arrive earlier and stay longer. On the 23rd December we have music in the lobby by the open fire, perfectly accompanied by warm glasses of 'glogg' - mulled wine. We make Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree, and at 6pm the doors are opened to the
dining room. After
dinner,
coffee is served in the
lounge where the atmosphere rises and dancing begins on the dance floor in the
bar. Sled, sleigh and
skis - it's Christmas once again and Tallberg looks like a Christmas postcard. The hotel arranges a joyful walk to the village to take part in a quiz competition. In light of the huge Christmas
dinner to come, we serve a smaller
lunch. Everyone dresses the Christmas tree, and all ages enjoy seeing Santa Claus arrive, usually on a horse-drawn sleigh. After presents have been handed out Santa Claus himself might lead a dance around the Christmas tree and sometimes out into the corridor. Watching Disney cartoons on
TV in the afternoon is a Swedish tradition, and everyone gathers here to watch them if they choose. The big Christmas
dinner table presents all the culinary delights of the season and everything is homemade by our skilful chefs. (Price for Christmas
dinner only is 595 SEK). After the meal we meet in the
lounge room where H.E. Borjeson presents his traditional Christmas speech. For the 41st time! The Christmas
bar is open with plenty of space for socializing. Midnight
coffee and a bus
trip to midnight mass in Leksand's Church is a wonderful experience that can be booked with the Christmas package. In the morning a walk with a guide who tells stories about life in the village, followed by the 'Little Christmas'
lunch serving all the best Christmas treats. After
lunch we take in an exhibition at the Greenverket, which displays more than 100 works by artists including Anders Zorn, Carl Larsson, Kylberg, Picasso, Chagall and more. In the evening it's a candlelit
dinner with the hostesses wearing their beautiful Leksand folk dresses. There's a junior
disco for the young, and dancing to live music on the glass dance floor over the
pool for the adults.
Breakfast is extended to allow for an extra lie-in after a late night, and
lunch is the hotel's delicious smorgasbord. In the afternoon you can go for a ride on a sleigh, sled or
skis, or maybe take in a
trip to the Zorn Museum and Sundborn (the former home of one of Sweden's favourite painters, Anders Zorn). Or why not just stay at the hotel and relax in the
pool,
sauna or one of our lounges? In the evening we offer a late light supper and serve Juljansson (a special Christmas dish) in the Picasso
dinner room and Green salon. Thursday 27th December. The yuletide atmosphere and festivities continue. You are welcome to stay longer and continue to enjoy the wonderful food, environment, new friends and warm candlelight that doesn't burn out just because Christmas is over. And you are always welcome back next year! New Years Eve is one of the year's highlights and when all our guests meet - returning and new, young and old, families, couples and singles. A fantastic
celebration with plenty of good food and a fes...

room for the Borjeson art collection, which can be exhibited to groups as agreed. Prices can be obtained upon request. The collection is open to the public most Saturdays at 3 pm. At the Green Hotel we have extensive
meeting, training and
conference experience. To make planning your
conference easier we have put together some simple points to consider: Will the participants share or require
single rooms? Will some participants only stay for the day? Will any of the participants or course managers need to arrive before the
conference or stay an additional day? What type of
meeting rooms and
furniture do you require? How many break-out
rooms are needed? What technical equipment and support will be needed in the
conference room, e.g. DVD, broadband and so on? What transport is required to and from the facility? Does anybody require a pick up at the train or bus station? Are there any special needs that require extra support? Are there any dietary requirements? Have you organised thank you gifts for speakers and organisers? We are happy to order a bouquet on your account. Do you wish to organise incentives and activities? Consider the amount of time you have and your budget and we will assist you with suggestions. How will you pay for the
conference? By invoice or will costs be distributed among the participants? Do you need help arranging activities and incentives? We can suggest events both at the hotel and outdoors in the fantastic surroundings. Around Lake Siljan there are endless possibilities for interesting excursions. Something handmade from the village can be a great keepsake and an appreciated gift. We are happy to help with ideas and purchasing. If possible, please visit us ahead of time so that we can plan the
conference together. There is usually no problem adding a few last-minute participants. If you are uncertain of the number of participants it might be a good idea to book below your anticipated number to avoid any cancellation fees. Please read the cancellation rules and what applies when cancelling and/or regulating the number of participants.
