Snowdon - Yr Wyddfa, The Highest Mountain In Wales!

Trips to Snowdon, your way! A guided hike on Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa, taking lesser used paths to the summit of the highest mountain in Wales!

We will lead this hiking tours with 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.

Snowdon Guided Hike Itinerary

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 trips to Snowdon being popular, its 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 allows our guided hiking trip to the summit 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.

Guided Hiking Trips Information

The hiking package will be delivered by a fully qualified mountain leader who will know a great deal about both Snowdon and Snowdonia, and of course the mountains of Wales in general. They will describe what you are seeing and tell you a few tall tales along the way…

During the months of May to September, there is a café near the summit of this highest

mountain in Wales, but do not depend on this for sustenance. It's often closed due to weather conditions, and so we always advise taking a good packed lunch along with a flask of something warm.
