Snowdon Sunset Summit

Trek the highest mountain in England and Wales, summit at sunset and make your descent under a starry sky! With an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560ft) and a walking distance of around 11km (round trip), this is a tough challenge but your courage in taking part will help local families going through the toughest time of their lives.

You will be accompanied by certified mountain leaders who are all first aid trained and experienced in leading groups up Snowdon. The trek is graded as “medium” and is a good introduction to night time trekking. A training program will be supplied as well as constant support by both us and the mountain leaders, ensuring you are prepared for your adventure along the Llanberis Path.

Trekking Snowdon in the late afternoon means you beat the crowds and makes for an incredible and personal summit experience as the sun dips behind the mountainous landscape, enabling you to see the Snowdonia National Park in all its glory at both day and night.
