Event overview
Seeing the sunrise across Snowdonia National Park will be a memory never forgotten! We will be ascending during the stillness of the night, allowing you to experience the tranquil mountain environment in a different light whilst adding an extra layer of challenge.
The group will be fully supported all the way by experienced Mountain Leaders and then celebrate this epic achievement at the finish with a well-deserved breakfast brunch!
It is better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times. Asian Proverb
Snowdon National Park is an International Dark Sky Reserve so, weather depending, the group will be treated to a stunning walk under a blanket of stars. The aim is to reach the summit in time for dawn breaking over the magnificent Snowdonia National Park where there will be time to admire and soak in the unfolding panoramas.
The descent will follow the same route, but the light of the rising sun will offer a fresh new perspective of the landscape.
