Snowdon Summit (1085m) Loop

7 hours

Moderate

Join a guided 7-hour hike to the highest mountain in Wales — Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa, 1085 m). We’ll ascend via the scenic Llanberis Path and return through one of several routes depending on group ability and conditions.

Climb to the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa, 1085 m) — the highest mountain in Wales — on a guided day hike led by an experienced mountaineer. We’ll start in Llanberis, following the well-loved Llanberis Path to the top, where breathtaking views across Eryri (Snowdonia National Park) await.

Depending on weather and group preference, we may descend via one of three routes — including Pen-y-Pass or the Ranger Path — to create a memorable and varied loop.

This experience is suitable for hikers of moderate fitness, with plenty of breaks for rest, photos, and lunch at the summit. Expect around 7 hours of hiking in total, including time to enjoy the views and learn about local landmarks from your guide.

Public transport is available to Llanberis from Bangor. Feel free to contact us for help planning your trip.
