Ascend in the dark... descend into light

You'll undertake the 1,085m climb after a convivial dinner with fellow walkers in the beautiful lakeside town of Llanberis before setting out on your trek under the moonlight. 

When you reach the summit of Snowdon - Yr Wyddfa in Welsh - you will be able to watch the sunrise and you will experience spectacular landscapes opening up as the day grows lighter on your descent down the mountain. You will arrive back to that well-earned celebratory breakfast, to complete this memorable adventure.

What a way to make new friends and discover new ways of appreciating the sleeping giant of Gwynedd!
