Trekking in Snowdonia

Enjoy a fully guided walk to the summit of Snowdon, or alternative peak, with a fully qualified, experienced, and insured professional mountain leader. Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh) is the highest peak in Wales and stands at 1085m above sea level. From its summit, you can look across the stunning mountains and narrow ridges across Snowdonia National Park towards the North Wales coastline. We will climb Snowdon by one of the classic mountain routes that lead to the summit. I will guide you also in the heritage, culture, and environment as we walk along the path passing mountain lakes, waterfalls, ancient monuments, and traditional hill farming. I have recently attained a Gold level on the Eryri /Snowdonia Ambassador course. This scheme is accredited by the Snowdonia National Park Authority. It has been developed for the local tourism industry offering a quality training experience to develop learning about the local culture, heritage, and environment of this exceptional region.

Length 6 miles / 10 km. Ascent 2500 feet / 900 metres. • We meet at 8. 30am with a briefing about weather, clothing and expectations. The rough mountain paths have generally been well constructed but are rough and steep in places. • There is plenty of time in the day to ascend to the summit, enjoy our picnic and drinks along the way and have time to stop by at a local cafe at the end of the day. • The afternoon we return via a different path adding to the scenic journey and offering a variety of landscapes to absorb. There are toilets at the start and end of the walk and only on Snowdon's summit is there a cafe with facilities (and only during summer months). • A good level of fitness is required for hiking in Snowdonia but there are also many options for less strenuous walks which take in landscapes of exceptional nature in areas with great conservation value. Send me a message and I can customize the tour for you.
