Snowdon Llanberis Path Guided Hike

Yr Wyddfa or Snowdon, is one of the most popular mountains in all of Europe!

We have been guiding on this mountain for 23yrs! Over 1400 ascents, looking after thousands of happy hikers.

There are several routes to the summit of the highest mountain in Wales and England, all of which are stunning, as is Yr Wyddfa, Snowdon, itself. It’s near perfect pyramidal shape surrounded by classic geology, glacial lakes, massive cliffs and the legendary knife edge ridge of Crib Goch.

To visit Snowdonia and not ascend the crown jewel of North Wales’ mountains would be a serious mistake!

Meeting point

We meet in the village of Llanberis at 08.30 ready to start walking shortly after. Round trip time is an average 6.5hrs with breaks.

What's included

All our staff are fully qualified Mountain leaders, with remote emergency care 1st aid certificates. They all have excellent local area knowledge as they work and live full time in the mountains of Snowdonia.

Our working ratios on Snowdon in summer conditions are 12 walkers to 1 mountain leader.

What to bring

You will need to have correct footwear and clothing for walking on rough tracks in a mountain environment. We would recommend sturdy walking shoes (not trainers or street footwear) or suitable walking boots. In the summer months, lightweight walking boots/shoes are ideal – whether they are made from leather or synthetic with leather is up to you.

A small day sack is handy for your food and drink for the day, up to 25Lt in size is ideal.

Even in the summer mountain weather can be very fickle so it’s best to have enough clothing and waterproofs for every eventuality. We can always give you advice about things you may be thinking of buying if you are coming in to the mountains with us.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to be super fit as we always go at a gentle but steady pace. However, it does help if you have a good level of general fitness to let you enjoy the walk and the mountain scenery.
