About the event

Cnicht Mountain Circular

When viewed from the south-west, particularly from the direction of Porthmadog, its shape has led to it being nicknamed the "Matterhorn of Wales", despite being 3,789 meters shorter. In actuality, Cnicht is a long ridge and, at 689 m, is the fifth-highest peak in the Moelwynion mountain range.
