Have you hiked the highest mountain in Wales yet?

We’ve rented a converted golf clubhouse 900 feet above sea level in the breathtaking Moelwyn mountains which we will have all to ourselves for the weekend. Every morning you will wake up to fresh mountain air and incredible views across the Vale of Ffestiniog.

What to expect:

The route up Snowdon is stunning but also one the hardest hikes in Wales. Be prepared to hike for 6 to 8 hours, approximately 15km with 1000 meters of ascent.

After being on many trips the thing that I love the most is not just the places I get to see, but it’s the new friends I make along the way. This is one of the reasons we focus on the 25-39 year-olds, to give you an opportunity to travel with likeminded people.

In the spirit of TravelSoul we look after each other, so you may be helping with preparing meals for the group, giving good vibes, sharing your skills and talents and helping one another. There is no requirement to, but we love it when people get involved!

Difficulty Level: Difficult, very good fitness and stamina levels will be required to comfortably tackle longer and harder days hiking in the mountains. Sustained ascents and descents (often steep) should be anticipated. Ideally participants will have previous experience in mountain hiking. Be prepared to hike for 6 to 8 hours (approximately 15km with 1000 meters of ascent. There are sometimes no designated tracks or footpaths and terrain can be rocky so suitable hiking footwear is required, further details of which will be listed on the specific walk information. Hiking boots with ankle support are strongly advisable. Please be aware that walking a couple of miles up a mountain will feel a lot further than walking on flat ground so you need to take this into consideration when evaluating your fitness.
