The Snowdon 3 Peaks
| Dates | Availability |
|---|
Join us on an epic trekking adventure and summit the Snowdon three peaks in a single walk whilst fundraising for Mental Health UK.
The three Snowdon peaks consist of the mighty Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, followed by Garnedd Ugain, just 20 meters shorter, and finally the famous knife-edge ridge of Crib Goch.
We have different route options available for the trek which will be decided on group size, ability, weather, and Covid19 precautions. However, all options start and finish in the charming town of Llanberis.
Conquer the 3 Peaks in the Snowdon Mountain range:
Snowdon 1085m (3560ft)
Garnedd Ugain 1065m (3494ft)
Crib Goch 923m (3028ft)
The Snowdonia mountain range is home to some absolutely spectacular views, arguably the best in the UK. With some breath-taking scenery on display throughout the journey, you’ll be left with a great sense of achievement as you summit some of the highest mountains in Wales.
