Mountain guide Jan Peto

I was born in 1955 in Ruzomberok. The town is surrounded by beautiful nature and from near Kalvaria it is posssible to see the panorama of the nicest mountains in Slovakia. Mountains and nature have greatly affected my life journey.

When I was 12 years old I began to climb on Haliny under Malino Brdo. My further youthful steps were aimed to The Hight Tatras to get familiar with all touristic routes. As a 16-year-old boy I joined the mountaineering club and I was regularly spending my free time with my friends in mountains and on the rock cliffs. My love to the mountains and nature led me to the  studies at Faculty of forestry in Zvolen. During that time I began to climb in foreign countries. After my studies I found my job at The Department of Avalanche Precausion of Mountain rescue in Jasna at which I worked as its executive to 31.12.2010. From 1.1.2011 I am retired and have been going on with my job of a mountain guide with international UIAGM license and expert in the field of snow avalanches.

During my studies, mountaineering ascents and practices of avalanche professional and mountain rescue worker I learnt a lot of knowledge and experiences from alpine world that I have been giving to my family, friends and in the future I'll give them to all who will be interested in my guiding services.
