Trip Overview
Traverse Snowdon via multiple routes, taking in the most dramatic ridges in Wales. Rather than a simple up-and-down, our traverse takes you across the mountain using different ascent and descent routes — experiencing the full grandeur of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and its surrounding horseshoe of peaks. The Snowdon Traverse combines the drama of the Pyg Track ascent with the spectacular Crib Goch ridge (optional, for experienced scramblers) or the Miners' Track alternative, followed by the panoramic descent via the Llanberis Path. Standing at 1,085m, the summit of Snowdon offers views across all of North Wales and beyond.
Who is this for?
A challenging day on Wales's highest mountain. The standard traverse route requires good mountain fitness and a head for heights. The Crib Goch option is for experienced scramblers only.

"This was my first time cycling with Adventure Cafe; first time riding from London to Paris and my first time riding this sort of distance over 3 days. Lots of preparation had gone into this from AC prior to departing London."
