Overview

Challenge yourself and join the guided ascent of the mighty Snowdon and enjoy the adventure.  At 1,085m high, Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales, surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. It is steeped in history and protected by rocky ridges making Snowdon a unique mountain, one of the few places on Earth where the Snowdon Lily (Lloydia Serotina) can be found. 

Guided ascent on Saturday accompanied by a qualified mountain leader. You will be supported by a dedicated team to make sure your experience is fun and safe whilst helping you achieve your goals. Snowdon offers stunning scenery and this is your opportunity to experience and admire the amazing vistas.

The group will explore methods for cultivating tranquility (shamatha) through body, breath, and mind. Through meditation, you will train your attention skills and improve your focus and concentration. Daily relaxing and restoring Vinyasa yoga sessions will allow you to unwind, let go of stress and worry, and cultivate mental and emotional balance.

Why this path?

The Snowdon Ranger Path is one of the quieter routes on Snowdon which follows a rocky path up the eastern slopes before joining the shoulder over Clogwyn Du’r Arddu and finally merges with the Llanberis Path for the final stretch to the summit. The Ranger Path offers stunning views over vast valleys, mountain lakes and steep rocky ridges.

The Snowdon Ranger Path is thought to be the oldest of the six classic routes to the summit of Snowdon. The Path is named after John Morton who was known as the ‘Snowdon Ranger’ and guided Victorian clients to the top of Snowdon in the 19th century. John Morton built a tavern known as the ‘Snowdon Ranger Inn’ which stood on the site where the YHA Snowdon Ranger stands today.
