Tar vitriol in Salen mountains

Sälen is one of our most popular ski resorts, and in addition to skiing you can enjoy ice fishing, dog sledding and snowmobile safaris.

The mountain cabins, which are embedded in the snow and overlook the wonderful white expanses, are painted with Tar Vitriol to withstand harsh winds and precipitation. Tar Vitriol is a unique product that gives the wood both a wood protection and a modern gray color.

Lars-Göran Otterling at Projektengagemang designed the buildings in consultation with the client Industritornet. He says that Tar Vitriol was chosen in competition with Iron Vitriol, but as they believe that Tar Vitriol protects the facade better, the choice fell on this, which is important in a weather-exposed area.
