Yr Wyddfa (as it is known in Welsh) is the highest peak in Wales and at 1085m/3560ft high, it’s a tough climb to reach the summit.
However, you are rewarded with tremendous views over the coast and northern Snowdonia from its lofty heights. If the cloud obscures the views from the summit, there is still plenty of exciting mountain terrain to view around you. You will be joined by qualified local MountainLeaders who will share their enthusiasm andadvice with you all the way. Each stride up is worth it as you head ever higher into the mountain’s unique, mythical environment full of drama… enjoy YOUR Climb Snowdon adventure.
Your Itinerary
We recommend you journey to the Llanberis area the day before, to make the most of your walking day and make sure you’re fresh and prepared. A typical Climb Snowdon day will follow this itinerary, we will be in touch before your event if it’s likely to be any different.

*Depending on weather and group size, your leader might choose to take the local bus up to Pen Y Pass and walk the PYG Track or the Miner’s Path to the summit. You will need to bring £3 for a single bus fare as you’ll still walk back down the Llanberis path to start location.
**There is often a large queue for a picture with thesummit trig point, which is located on a man madecairn (stone structure). There will not always be time to join the queue for this photo so do be reassured that Yr Wyddfa’s true summit is actually the plateau upon which the cairn stands.
