The Snowdon Skyline Challenge is an exhilarating route across the Snowdon massif that takes you over five stunning summits. You’ll begin with Moel Eilio, before progressing to Foel Gron, Foel Goch, and Moel Cynghorion. Finally, we’ll ascend Yr Wyddfa itself, experiencing breathtaking views and rich mountain history along the way.
Starting and finishing in Llanberis, you'll be able to enjoy this quieter and more challenging approach to Yr Wyddfa and ‘tick off’ these lesser known peaks along the way. Each peak has its own tale to tell, from high mountain shelters through to secret meeting locations in years gone by.
Guided by qualified and experienced Mountain Leaders, this challenge is perfect for anyone seeking a more demanding mountain adventure, or looking for a new perspective on this iconic region.
Circular: Starting/ending in Llanberis village
Distance: 48km / 29 miles (round trip)
Total Ascent: 2250 metres / 7381 feet
We have just climbed Snowdon as a corporate group to raise money for a local charity, using RAW Adventures as our guide. We are so glad we did - our guide Paul was described by the group as a 'legend'. He chatted, distracted, encouraged, motivated, relaxed members of the group when needed and even lent baby wipes when required!I would highly recommend booking with RAW Adventures if you're thinking of climbing a mountain as a team event. It's an experience we won't forget and has brought us closer as a team. Thank you Paul!
The Snowdon Skyline is ideal for corporate or charity fundraising groups of 5 or more with a good level of fitness and experience in hill walking. To fully enjoy the challenge, participants should be able to sustain several hours of continuous movement over steep ascents and descents.
The route includes rocky and uneven high-level terrain, so your muscles and cardiovascular system need to be well-conditioned. If you’re not sure if the Snowdon Skyline is right for your group, or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
Guided Snowdon Skyline challenges start at £59 per person for groups of 5 or more. We also offer private guided experiences for individuals: get in touch to discuss options and create your own tailored experience.
The full route is approximately 22km (13 miles) and takes a full day to complete. The exact duration depends on the group’s pace, weather conditions, and the decisions of our experienced Mountain Leaders, who may make adjustments to the route to prioritise safety.
Yr Wyddfa’s weather is unpredictable, and conditions may change rapidly. If severe weather poses a safety risk, our leaders may adjust the route. However, rain alone will not prevent the challenge from going ahead!
Our leaders continuously assess conditions and may adjust the route for safety reasons.
You don’t need specialist technical equipment to complete the Snowdon Skyline, but we will provide a full kit list in advance. Sturdy walking boots, weather-appropriate clothing, and a backpack with essentials are recommended. Your mountain leader will carry all necessary group safety equipment.
This is a demanding trek suited to individuals with a good level of fitness and experience in hill walking. If you’re new to mountain challenges, we recommend trying a shorter guided walk before attempting the full Snowdon Skyline.
Accommodation isn't included, but we’ve compiled a list of excellent local providers for your convenience.
