Snowdonia National Park in North Wales is renowned for its dramatic, rugged landscapes and outstanding opportunities for trekking and outdoor adventure. Rising to 1,085 meters, Snowdon – known in Welsh as Yr Wyddfa – is the highest mountain in England and Wales and is steeped in legend, said to be the resting place of a mythical giant.

A popular summit by day, climbing Snowdon by night transforms this familiar route into a truly exhilarating challenge. Reaching the summit under the glow of the moonlight is an unforgettable experience, matched only by the magic of watching the sunrise as we begin our descent. As daylight gradually reveals the sweeping mountain views, you’ll witness the landscape come alive in a way few ever do.

Whether you’re want to put yourself outside of your comfort zone or trek in memory of a loved one, this is your moment to make a difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

To register for our Snowdon by Night trek, you’ll need to pay a £49 registration fee.

We ask that all of our charity trekkers raise at least £450 as part of this event. As a charity, we rely on donations to provide compassionate, expert hospice care in our community. But don’t worry, we’re here to make sure your fundraising is enjoyable and successful.

All of Discover Adventure’s trips are designed to provide a challenge. Trips are graded: yellow, orange or red – in increasing level of challenge. This trip lies within the yellow range.

The grade is determined by factors such as terrain, distance, climate and altitude. Each colour grade has a spectrum which reflects the difficulty of these factors. Trip duration, accommodation and living conditions are also taken into account.

Some sections will feel more challenging than others, but the grade reflects the other trip. Unusual weather conditions can also have a significant impact.

No – as people will be travelling from all over the UK, we ask supporters to book their own travel and accomodation. Due to the nature of the challenge, we’d encourage that everyone considers either:

• Using public transport to travel home
• Arranging for a friend or relative to give you a lift
• Booking accommodation nearby to allow you to rest before travelling home

We will be following the Llanberis path up and down the mountain.

Precise timings and locations will be supplied to you one month prior to your trek. Your challenge begins late in the evening, where you’ll register, meet the leaders, and complete a safety briefing. You’ll begin your trek close to midnight, and it takes approximately 8 hours to complete. Sunrise is around 5am. At the finish line, we will have a celebration breakfast before you head home. We anticipate everyone will be finished by 8am. 

Yes – this is a leader-led challenge and you will be always accompanied by our challenge partner’s mountain leaders .
