Snowdon 5 Peaks Challenge

Our Snowdon Five Peaks Challenge is perfect for anyone seeking a mountain adventure that strikes the right balance between demanding and achievable. Designed for active walkers with a good level of fitness, it offers a rewarding test of endurance, determination, and teamwork.

The route begins in Llanberis and includes Moel Eilio, Foel Goch, Moel Cynghorion, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), and Garnedd Ugain — a demanding but meaningful journey.

Who is this challenge for?

Our Five Peaks Challenge is suited to anyone with a good level of fitness who is comfortable walking for 7–10 hours in the mountains. The route covers approximately 13 miles with around 1,600 metres of ascent, making it a demanding yet highly rewarding day out. Along the way, you’ll experience some truly spectacular scenery, adding to the sense of achievement.
