See Snowdonia wake up from above the clouds

Your adventure begins shortly after midnight in Llanberis before setting off along the famous Llanberis Path. Guided by experienced Mountain Leaders, you'll steadily gain height beneath the night sky as the lights of the valley slowly disappear below.

As dawn approaches, anticipation builds with every step. Reaching higher ground before sunrise gives you the chance to witness one of the most spectacular sights in North Wales, as golden light spreads across the mountains of Eryri and the surrounding landscape begins to emerge from darkness.

Along the route, your guides will share stories about the local area, Welsh culture and the remarkable mountain environment that makes Yr Wyddfa one of the most iconic peaks in Europe.

The ascent follows the Llanberis Path, climbing steadily towards Halfway House before continuing past Clogwyn Station and onto the final summit slopes. The route offers a rewarding challenge without requiring technical climbing experience.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, ticking off a bucket-list adventure or simply want to experience Snowdon in a completely unique way, the Snowdon Sunrise Hike is one of the most memorable mountain experiences in Wales.
