Event overview
Create a memory never to be forgotten, as you see the sunrise over the Snowdonia National Park!
You and fellow hikers will ascend during the stillness of the night, and with Snowdon National Park being an International Dark Sky Reserve, you will hopefully be treated to a stunning walk under a blanket of stars.
The goal is to reach Snowdon’s summit (1,085m) just as dawn breaks over the breathtaking Snowdonia National Park and pause to fully embrace the sunrise before beginning the descent, where the landscape will reveal itself in an entirely new and beautiful light.
Throughout the entire journey, you’ll be guided and supported by expert Mountain Leaders. As a reward for your efforts, you’ll be invited to celebrate at the finish line with a well-earned breakfast.

Overview
Standing at a mighty 1,085m above sea level, conquering Wales' highest mountain is no mean feat.
Setting off in the early hours, you'll ascend via the Llanberis Path, the most popular route up Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa. As a new day dawns and the first rays of sunlight peer over the horizon, you'll be standing atop the roof of Wales, soaking in the panorama from lofty heights as golden light envelops the landscape with the rising of the sun.
