What To Expect
We run our Snowdon Sunrise group hikes throughout the summer, or if you want to make a private booking, we’ll also offer alternate dates and route choices. We’ll chat to you in advance and ensure you’ve got the right gear for an enjoyable day out.
On the day you’ll meet your Snowdon guide at the start point who’ll lead you safely to the summit (and back again!). Along the way they’ll share interesting facts (did you know when Snowdon was originally formed it was six times higher?), teach you some Welsh language (ask them how to pronounce the nearby village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch) and tell bad jokes (how do you know what the weather’s like at the top of a mountain? You climb-it (climate – get it?)).
