Peru 2013

The Peruvian Cordillera Blanca: a place where there are always more things to find. For making films about mountain, lifestyle and people, this is a fantastic place to go.

In 2013 Andreas Fransson and Bjarne Salén spent a month there aiming to ski some of the big lines. Despite the ideal timing ski conditions were poor, and as ever sometimes the mountains accept you, and sometimes not. A place to be re-visited!

Pakistan 2014

In May 2014 Bjarne followed steep skier Ptor Spricenieks on his quest to ski the Shina Face, Gashot Peak in the wild Nanga Parbat region of Pakistan.

Along with fellow skier Greg Hill they spent 4 weeks traveling, exploring, climbing and finally skiing the incredible Shina Face…..though not without some major drama along the way. The trip was a culmination of dreams becoming reality for Ptor, and can be seen in ‘Dream Line’.

It’s a magic place for skitouring in the early spring, when the days are long and the snow conditions are usually good.Filmmaker Bjarne Salén, together with skiers Andreas Fransson and Morgan Salén, explored the Lyngen Mountains for three weeks in April 2012.During this time they made six first descents, and skied some of thebest snow they had ever found in Scandinavia.
