Snowdon – Rhyd Ddu Path

Saturday 22nd June 2024
Registration: £10 – £30

Join the Elite Adventures team for this fantastic opportunity to take a guided walk to the roof of Wales – Snowdon (1085m) A truly unique opportunity to join a like-minded group, get active and savour the wide expansive views across Snowdonia from the highest mountain in Wales.

The Rhyd Ddu path is one of the quietest routes up the mountain and you will see Snowdon from a completely different angle to those taking on the more popular Llanberis, Pyg or Miners tracks. You should expect a full day on the mountain with areas of steep ascent.

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?

This event will appeal to everyone from seasoned adventurers to Sunday hikers. The group will be fully guided, getting you safely up to the mountain summit. This is an ideal walk for anyone who would like to summit the highest mountain in Wales and use a more remote path up the mountain. This was does include a short section which is classed as a ridge walk so a reasonable head for heights is required. Our team of mountain leaders will be with you each step of the way and do what we can to minimise any risk to our participants.
