Climbing Snowdon in the rain

Sadly not every day out on Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa is a beautiful, blue sky adventure. Sometimes, it rains! If you’re from the UK then this shouldn’t be news to you.

Don’t like the FareHarbor booking fee?

Neither do we but unfortunately it’s imposed on us by our booking platform, FareHarbor. The (usually) small fee covers the cost of the booking software as well as card payment processing fees.

If you’re booking a £49 hike up Snowdon, the fee is only a few pounds and most people are ok with that however if you’re trying to join one of our popular courses or arranging a private guide, the fee can be as much as £10 or even more.

Fortunately, you can avoid the FareHarbor booking fee by booking and paying by bank transfer or over the phone with your credit or debit card.
