What To Expect
We run our Snowdon Sunrise group hikes throughout the summer, or if you want to make a private booking, we’ll also offer alternate dates and route choices. We’ll chat to you in advance and ensure you’ve got the right gear for an enjoyable day out. On the day you’ll meet your Snowdon guide at the start point who’ll lead you safely to the summit (and back again!). Along the way they’ll share interesting facts (did you know when Snowdon was originally formed it was six times higher?), teach you some Welsh language (ask them how to pronounce the nearby village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch) and tell bad jokes (how do you know what the weather’s like at the top of a mountain? You climb-it (climate – get it?)).

5.00Such an incredible experience with Hyrwen as our guide. I booked this for me & my son to do for his 18th birthday. We didn’t get to see the sunrise due to the weather but Hyrwen made the whole thing such an experience that it didn’t matter. He is so knowledgable, encouraging and knows the mountain inside out! This is an absolute must do!!! Thank you so much.

5.00We climbed Mount Snowdon at dawn with a guide from Mountain Xperience. Hywen was brilliant, knew the mountain backwards and got us to the top in time for dawn with enough breaks for the whole group. I would highly recommend!!!!!
Fantastic experience not to be missed!!

5.00What an incredible, unforgettable experience with a great group of people despite not seeing the sunrise due to the weather. Our guide, Hywyn, was fantastic. His knowledge of Snowdon and the surrounding area was second to none. Aside from his friendliness and professionalism (pace setting, expert guidance and encouragement when needed ) he is a born storyteller and had some wonderful stories to tell! Thank you Hywyn! It was a real pleasure!

5.00The weather was awful but despite this we were very well taken care of and managed to reach a safe midway stop my grandson and I will remember this experience with pride and a feeling of accomplishment plus the stories given by our guide Herwen were fantastic definitely will be doing this again and the book of how to climb a mountain written by Simon was extremely helpful prior to our adventure
Amazing experience start to finish!

5.00The most amazing trip with a delightful guide, Hywyn. We had the blessing of seeing a cloud inversion plus a sunrise. This was my first hike and I felt supported, encouraged and thankfully distracted by the climb whilst listening to all of Hywyns stories! Highly recommend ✨

5.00Just a quick note to say thank you to our amazing guide Hywyn. He guided three of us on our sunrise hike up Yr Wydffa (on 10/10/25) with the perfect mix of encouragement, enthusiasm, stories so we could catch our breath and give our legs a break and belief in us. We were three very different people and he successfully got us all up to the summit as the sun rose (with a stunning inversion !) There were times on the way up when i thought i would have to stop…but Hywyn was positive i would make it and i did. Thank you for your support and belief and for enabling me to have such an amazing experience Hywyn!
