If you’re looking for a unique Snowdon adventure then join us high in the Snowdonia mountains for a remote wild camping experience. Spend two days (and a night!) on Snowdon exploring the quieter side of the mountain learning outdoor skills along the way.
On day one you’ll meet your qualified and experienced guide at the foot of the mountain. You’ll have the chance to talk about your kit and discuss what’s going to happen over the next 24 hours. You’ll then set off at a gentle pace to climb to the summit of Snowdon. In the afternoon you’ll descend into a quiet cwm (valley) where you’ll set up your tents for the evening and start on dinner. You’ll then be able to relax in the evening and watch the sunset.
Client satisfaction is our top priority. Our Snowdon adventures are recommended by 100% of previous customers. We’re the number one outdoor adventure provider in the area and two-time recipient of the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award.
The next morning following sunrise and breakfast it’s time to pack up your tent and walk off the mountain and back to civilisation.
Whether you’re a family looking for something a bit different to do one weekend or perhaps you’re working towards an outdoor qualification, our wild camping adventure is suitable for all and no previous hill walking or camping experience is required.
You can join one of our public wild camping adventures throughout the year or if there’s three or more of you in your party you can pick your own date. Book online using the live availability checker or contact us to find out more.

As everyone has different food tastes we’ve found it’s easier to let people bring their own food and drink on your wild camp adventure.
For day one you should have a good breakfast before meeting your guide in the morning and bring a packed lunch along with you to eat on the hill. In the evening you’ll cook at your camp. We recommend ready-to-eat meal packs such as those sold by Wayfarer or Trekmates. These pre-cooked meals simply need heating up and can be eaten straight out of the bag. Choose something you think you’ll like and a dessert too!
For day two you can make another hot meal, simply boil water for an instant porridge or just eat breakfast bars.
You will also need to bring drinks for your adventure. A warm flask for tea, coffee or chocolate is useful. Remember tea bags and whatever else you think you’ll need.
Don’t worry if you’re not sure about how to cook – your guide will be on hand to help.
