Summiting Yr Wyddfa

A fully guided adventure with safety cover throughout

A mix of wild swimming, hiking, and breathtaking scenery of Eryri
Soaking in the vibrant energy of the summer solstice – the longest days, golden light, and a powerful sense of connection to nature

Cold water immersion – expect temperatures between 10–15°C depending on the spot

The stunning, quiet, and less-frequently walked ascent of the south ridge – a hidden gem with expansive views and fewer crowds

A descent via the scenic and historic Miners’ Path, with sweeping views across the mountain lakes

A calm and peaceful experience thanks to it being a Monday – fewer people on the trails and a more immersive connection with the landscape

A shared sense of adventure and camaraderie with like-minded women

A short, scenic bus ride from Pen y Pass at the end of the day, back to the car park, (£6.50, payable locally)

A physically demanding but deeply rewarding challenge – you’ll finish the day tired and proud.
