What to expect

Join us for a guided hike to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest peak in Wales, via the Rhyd Ddu Path—a quieter, more tranquil route. Highlights of the Day: Panoramic Views: From the start of the route, enjoy sweeping views over Llyn Cwellyn and the rolling mountains of Snowdonia. Bwlch Main Ridge: Experience a thrilling (but safe!) section of the route as we traverse this narrow, rocky ridge. The views across Cwm Clogwyn and Cwm Llan are simply breathtaking. The Summit (1,085m): Reach the iconic peak of Yr Wyddfa and take in 360-degree vistas of the Snowdon Massif, Anglesey, and even Ireland on a clear day. Celebrate your achievement with a moment to soak in the magic of being on the highest point in Wales! The Rhyd Ddu Path offers a less crowded ascent of Snowdon, making it ideal for hikers who want a more intimate experience with the mountain. While quieter, it’s no less spectacular—this route offers some of the finest views in Snowdonia. This guided hike is perfect for those with a moderate level of fitness. The path includes some rocky and steep sections, but your guide will ensure the pace suits the group, with plenty of breaks to enjoy the surroundings.
