Snowdon Sea to Summit

You don’t have to be a pro at cycling or kayaking, just have an adventurous spirit which will see you conquer this fantastic route in the epic Snowdonia landscape. All equipment hire is included (bikes, helmets, double sit on top kayaks, buoyancy aids & paddles) and it’s a perfect weekend away in the heart of one of the UK’s greatest adventure playgrounds.

Pedal a stunning route from the picturesque coastline, past the historic Caernarfon Castle before winding your way through the back door into Snowdonia National Park. Your journey takes you along beautiful cycle paths and through the rolling Welsh countryside and quaint villages with the peak of Snowdon looming in the distance.

Arriving at the base of the mountain you’ll swap your bikes for boots and begin your ascent of the highest peak in England & Wales, the mighty Snowdon at 1085m. You’ll ascend via one of the quieter routes, the Snowdon Ranger Path on the west side of the mountain which carves its way through picturesque farmlands, past beautiful lakes and then follows the ridgeline all the way to the summit. On reaching the peak, there’s time for a victory photo and a quick breather before your descent to the northwest via the more gradual Llanberis Path, finishing in Llanberis itself.

The grand finale of the day will see you paddling around Llyn Padarn completing a large circuit of the lake, to smash through the finish line and celebrate with a glass of bubbles with your fellow challengers.
