SVELAV Avalanche Courses
Guided Ski Touring
I specialize in guiding small groups and individuals, prioritizing flexibility while maintaining the highest level of professionalism.
SVELAV Avalanche Courses
New this season are also combined SVELAV + Wilderness First Aid (WFA) courses in several locations in Sweden and Norway.
I have been teaching avalanche courses in Norway and Georgia since 2015, all of which have consistently received 5/5 ratings. Courses take place either in Åre / Snasahögarna (Storulvån) or Narvik, depending on participants' locations, with Georgia available upon request. All courses are taught in English or Norwegian.
Mountain Photography
I am also a ski alpinist and mountain photographer. My ski expeditions have taken me to the Andes, Caucasus, Tian Shan, and Scandinavia, where I have completed several first ski descents. Images from these journeys have been published in magazines such as Alpinist, Black & White Magazine, Schwarzweiss, and the American Alpine Journal.
A selection of these images is presented here, as these expeditions played a fundamental role in shaping my passion for the mountains before I became a professional guide. More images can be found at
What guests have to say

-----------------
Just completed a combined AST1 and AST2 avalanche skills course with Peter and it was excellent. Peter is a very knowledgeable and experienced avalanche professional who can explain the subject in an interesting and understandable way. He is great at getting people involved in decision making and management of travel in avalanche terrain. Peter went way beyond what could be expected and worked hard to ensure he could deliver a great course, despite having to change the location from Norway to Georgia (due to lack of snow in Norway). Peter is passionate about avalanche skills, skiing and the mountain environment from both a professional and personal perspective - his enthusiasm is infectious and he is a great guy to spend time with.

Peter was a fantastic guide during our eight day trip on Arnoya and Kagen! He has a vast knowledge of the area and was able to accommodate all skill levels. Looking forward to skiing again with him next year...Big thanks!
