Highlights

• Traverse the famous Crib Goch ridge to the summit of Snowdon • Small group adventures loved by 100% of hikers • Great for solo travellers, friends and families! • BOOK THROUGH TO OCTOBER 2026! Without doubt the most awesome route to the top of Snowdon has to be via Crib Goch. With grade one scrambles and a knife-edged arête it’s the ultimate Snowdon challenge. It starts with an easy climb from Pen y Pass along the Pyg Track before veering off to tackle the exposed ridge of Crib Goch. The bravest will march confidently along the top whilst the more nervous will be on all fours with most people managing a bit of both! The pinnacles give you a bit of easy vertical scrambling before the easy walk to Snowdon’s summit. Your return journey will be along the Miners’ Track where you’ll have amazing views back up to Crib Goch. We only work with qualified and experienced mountain guides who are fully insured and hold up-to-date first aid certificates.

About Caernarfon

Caernarfon is a castle town on the Menai Strait in north-west Wales, where the Welsh language is strong and Snowdonia rises close behind.

Caernarfon Castle, begun in 1283 by Edward I, dominates the town, its banded stone walls and towers standing above the river. The castle was the setting for the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1969, and the castle and town walls are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Segontium, a Roman fort on the edge of town, shows a much older history.
