About the event
Take on the Snowdon at Night Trek
Join #TeamLC for a truly special trekking experience and summit Mount Snowdon (1,085m) under the cover of darkness. While Snowdon is a popular daytime challenge, climbing it at night brings a completely different sense of achievement and atmosphere.
Using head torches to light the way and the moon as your backdrop, you’ll experience the tranquillity of Snowdonia like never before.
The experience
As you make your night-time ascent, the quiet and stillness of the mountain creates a memorable and reflective experience. Reaching the summit in the early hours and watching the sunrise across Snowdonia National Park is a moment you won’t forget.
After descending back to Llanberis, you’ll celebrate your achievement with a well-earned breakfast, marking the perfect end to this unique challenge.
