Diplomat in Åre, the hotel that was moved from Sundsvall and built up in Åre bit for piece, needed murals. The artist Göte Hennix from Östersund was invited. Lucky for us it didn't stay there but he managed to make this wonderful poster too. Åre was not the tourist resort that invested heavily in advertising posters to attract tourists and this is one of the few we have found. But what a poster! Now it can be yours!
