About the Break

Have a great day out with our fully qualified professional guides as we attempt to climb to the summit of Mount Snowdon, which at 1085m or 3560ft, is the highest mountain in England and Wales. Snowdon is at the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. Why not dig out your walking boots and come and join us to share the exhilaration of scaling Snowdon’s slopes and enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery the UK has to offer.

The new Snowdon Visitor’s Centre, Hafod Eryri, recently opened on the summit. Costing £8.4million it really is a feat of engineering and offers some staggering views while you can enjoy a cup of tea.

The day is a sociable event and, with a maximum of 8 people per guide, we’ll move at a comfortable pace for the group. You’ll be guided by expert local mountain professionals, who are fully qualified to lead groups in the mountains. All our guides are also qualified in remote area first aid and will carry group emergency kit. They have a wealth of knowledge about Mount Snowdon, and the Snowdonia area in general. Whether its geography, geology, plant life, wild life or myths and legends

Your guide will choose the most suitable walking route for the group, according to the prevailing weather. A day on Snowdon takes between five and seven hours, including breaks and a lunch stop.

How fit do I have to be?
If you do some form of regular weekly exercise or have a physical job, you should be fine. If you do no regular exercise and have a desk job, you’ll find it hard but not impossible. If you are unsure, contact us. When we arrive back at the hotel you’ll have a chance to relax before meeting up for dinner and a glass or two of wine, congratulating ourselves on our achievement!

Please note:
For your comfort and safety on this weekend you will need good quality leather or leather and gortex walking boots - local hire is available (pre booking essential). You will also need a full set of waterproofs (jacket and trousers). Please also ensure you have a rucksack and plenty of warm clothes including fleeces, hats and gloves. We will send you a recommended clothing list when you book.

Travel

Drive to Menai Bridge or take the train to Bangor (3 miles from the hotel) where we offer a pick you up at certain times, free of charge.

Menai Bridge is well connected to the UK’s road network via North Wales’s A55 coastal expressway which links to the M6 and the A5 from the M54. The drive to Menai Bridge takes around 4½ hours from London, about 2 hours from Birmingham or Manchester or considerably less from Liverpool or Chester.
