Yr Wyddfa (as it is known locally in Welsh) is the highest peak in Wales and at 1085m / 3560ft high, it’s a tough climb to reach the summit, no matter the time of day or how many times you do it.
We have created some different challenge ideas based on and around Snowdon. From a long day along the Snowdon Skyline, suitable for most people, up to the Snowdon 6 challenge which is even more demanding than the National 3 Peaks but without the high transport costs!
These challenges are great for corporate groups and to be used as a charity fundraising opportunity. By keeping the event in one location, we can support the local area and amenities as well as reduce event costs for you.
Whatever type of challenge you choose, we're sure you and your team will have a fantastic time and will remember this forever.
Have a browse through our challenges and get in touch if you'd like any additional information or to check availability for your team. Don't forget that as well as these, we can run events all across the UK and abroad, including on Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis. If you have a challenge concept in mind, bring it to us and we'll help make it happen.
