from7 peaks, 3 mountain ranges & 3000m of ascent!
Are you ready for an epic mountain adventure embracing the jagged mountains of Snowdonia? Climbing 7 of Snowdonia’s most famous peaks, this journey will test your mettle on a tough 3-day adventure with 3000 metres of ascent! Admire the view from some of North Wales finest mountains, including Snowdon, the Glyders, and the Carneddau. Expect a bit of everything, sun, rain, mist and to need a determined approach.
Situated on the West Coast of Britain, Snowdonia National Park is the largest National Park in Wales, covering 823 square miles of beautiful landscape. Wales is famous throughout the world for it’s mountains, natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage. It also hosts Wales highest mountain Snowdon and some of he most rugged and rewarding terrain in the UK. Groups welcome.
Snowdonia’s history is intimately bound with the shape and composition of its rocks and minerals. The Romans quarried and used slate from the hills to roof the fort at Segontium, and hundreds of years later King Edward I built a series of castles along the north Wales coast using the slate from the mountains.
During the industrial revolution, demand became significant and the slate was used to roof the houses, mills and factories that were being built across Britain. As a result of the expansion, the small villages of Bethesda, Llanberis and Blaenau Ffestiniog were transformed into industrial towns, and the Nantlle and Corris areas were vibrant quarry communities. In its heyday the industry employed more than 17,000 men and produced over 485,000 tons of slate.
Do you have a group of 8 or more trekkers/trail runners? We can tailor your Snowdonia 7 Summits Challenge to your requirements by running it over fewer days in a more challenging way. Do ask for details 🙂 Reductions for groups and those meeting us on the morning of day 2. In addition we also have a camping or bunkhouse option for those only needing more basic accommodation or who love camping!
Please enquire for dates from March to October 2022!
