Arrive and get briefed for the big winter challenge

Day 1

Get out onto the trail and hike into the beautiful Ogwen Valley, follow an old Roman road into the heart of the Carneddau Mountains. First stop - Pen Yr Ole Wen - standing at 978m, followed by two more peaks in quick succession; Carnedd Dafydd, the third highest peak in Wales at 1044m and then onto the dome-shaped plateau to summit Carnedd Llewelyn, the highest summit in the range at 1064m. Descend back through the Ogwen Valley and then it's back to the hotel to warm up and have dinner. Three peaks down, four to go.

The Carneddau Range - 3 Peaks

Day 2

Fuel up with a big breakfast and then hit the trail again – it's a rockier and more rugged track than yesterdays. Your first goal is the summit of Y Garn at 947m, the tenth highest peak in Wales. You'll tackle a short sharp descent before beginning another climb to the summit of Glyder Fawr at 1001m, the highest peak in the Glyderau range. Staying on the summit plateau the route traverses the Glyderau with some of the most iconic features in Snowdonia. Crossing a giant boulder field you’ll then reach your third and final summit for the day, Glyder Fach at 994m - the sixth highest in Wales - before returning to the Ogwen Valley. Six down, just one more to go.

Day 3

Time to finish this winter challenge off. One last ascent and you’re on top of Mt Snowdon (1085m), the highest of them all. Take some victory pics, enjoy a mountaintop lunch and then it’s all downhill. Depending on weather and time you’ll either complete the Snowdon Horseshoe or descend via the Pyg Track - either way, the scenery is spectacular. Head back to Caernarfon, the train station and home. Job done.
