Summit Yr Waddfa (Snowdon)*
Today is our main event — climbing Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in Wales.
Accompanied by experienced Mountain Leaders, we’ll take either the Ranger Path or Llanberis Path (depending on conditions). Both routes offer spectacular scenery and a rewarding mountain challenge.
The walk is approximately 9 miles and includes sustained uphill walking over mountain terrain, so a good level of fitness is essential.
This is not about speed or competition. We walk together as a group, taking regular breaks to enjoy the surroundings, capture photos, and soak up the experience.
Reaching the summit is always a special moment — and one you’ll remember long after the trip ends.
Friday 16th April 2027
Shorter lower height walk
After breakfast, we’ll enjoy a shorter walk in the local area before heading home with tired legs, fresh air in our lungs, and a real sense of achievement.
We expect the walk to finish at around 1pm.
* Distances are approximate and may vary slightly.
** If weather stops us from summiting Yr Wyddfa an alternative will be arranged.
