We’ll be using our head torches to light our way and the tranquillity of experiencing this mountain at night will never be forgotten.
We celebrate our achievements once we summit and begin our descent using the same trail. The descent will take approx. 2-3 hours and upon reaching our finish line in Llanberis, we celebrate with a well-earned breakfast. Trekking distance – approx. 9 miles Please note this is a complex itinerary, and is subject to change.
