Meeting Point
Look out for the leader looking all mountain guide like in the Snowdon Ranger car park. This is a pay for car park but it is not outrageously expensive, a few pounds.

What to expect
Yr Wyddfa
We will lead this true mountain day, 14km and 900m of ascent, to the summit of this world-renowned mountain by a lesser-known path. A truly amazing mountaineering experience that is, with the help of the guide, available to novices through to old time adventurers alike. The day includes walking through farmland and then old mountain trails, stunning mountain ridges and of course the 360 degree panoramic views from the summit (weather permitting!) With Snowdon being popular it's paths can become very crowded indeed. However, the path we will take for the ascent only ever has a handful of walkers and midweek we'll have it to ourselves! This is remarkable as Snowdon is quite rightly the most visited mountain peak in the UK. This allows our tour to the summit of Snowdon to be a relaxed event with a true flavour of isolation, a true mountain experience, so to speak. The descent is 'off piste' and follows the escarpment edge, with, weather permitting, dramatic views straight down into the valley below and across to the slate town of Llanberis.
Yr Wyddfa, known as Snowdon in English, is the highest mountain in Wales and a must-visit for adventurous tourists. Towering at 1,085 meters, this majestic peak offers breathtaking views, exhilarating hiking trails, and a rich tapestry of natural beauty, making it an iconic destination for those exploring the stunning landscapes of Snowdonia National Park.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
