Snowdon at Sunrise 2026

Take on a challenge like no other and help improve the lives of autistic young people with complex needs. The Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) Sunrise Trek 2026 sees you climb Wales's highest peak in the dark and reach the summit just as the sun comes up.

You'll begin your ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) at around 1.45am, trekking up by moonlight and reaching the summit for around 5am — then heading back down just as most people are waking up. The event is run by Sky Blue Adventures, so you can join as an individual or rally your friends and family and take it on as a group.
