Mountain walking
Overview
The mountain environment of Snowdonia is a stunning, magical landscape. Journeying in the mountains sees the physical challenge rewarded with a wilderness experience combining rugged terrain, changing weather patterns and breathtaking beauty.
Your options
For younger children, we are fortunate to have some 'mini-mountains' on our doorstep. These walks encapsulate all aspects of the mountain experience and even the most reluctant 'mountaineers' can usually be coaxed to the top.
As an alternative to reaching a summit, groups can explore the uplands using one of our photo walks. The information provided enables the children to navigate their journey using instructions, maps and photographs. And what better place to bring to life lessons from the classroom - mountain features, rivers, land use, conservation or the more mysterious world of Celtic myths and legends
For the more adventurous it's a short step from the Centre to the grandeur of the Cader Idris range or the wildness of the Rhinogedd . The classic glaciated features of Cader Idris are a focal point for geography field study groups as well as mountaineers.
For bigger mountains and bigger adventures further afield, keep an eye on the 'Arthog Away' section.
