Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) at 1,085m high is the highest mountain in Wales, surrounded by the Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park.  It is steeped in history and protected by rocky ridges making Snowdon a unique mountain, one of the few places on Earth where the Snowdon Lily (Lloydia Serotina) can be found.  1953 saw a British team attempt Mount Everest, the highest and mightiest of all mountains.  Where did they train and practice their skills? Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa).  This is your opportunity to experience the same emotions and admire the same amazing vistas, just like that early Everest team.

Quick Facts

  • Ascent – 2385ft / 727 metres

About & Details

Our ascent will take approximately 5 -7 hrs at a steady pace (the key to progress on a mountain) as we negotiate a route up the mountain via the Pyg Track from Pen-y-pass, skirting below the knife edged arête of Crib Goch and high above Llyn Llydaw & Glaslyn.  The spectacular scenery entices us to gain ever more height, until finally we are treated to the ultimate view from the roof of Wales.  Anglesey, the Menai Strait, Cardigan Bay, and the plains of England.  The descent takes us down the Miners Track past the lapping waters of Llyn Llydaw & Glaslyn to return to Pen-y-pass or via the Llanberis path to the village of Llanberis.
