The Welsh 7 Summits Challenge – Snowdonia edition is part of the new Seven Summit Series 2026. Join us as we journey to the heart of Snowdonia conquering seven Welsh peaks in just four unforgettable days. This premium guided expedition takes you from the dramatic scrambles of Tryfan’s north ridge to the iconic summit of Snowdon via the classic Pyg Track, finishing with the remote beauty of Moel Siabod. Experience the raw power of Welsh mountain terrain as you traverse iconic ridge lines, navigate ancient stone formations, and stand atop Yr Wyddfa – the burial place of giants. With expert mountain guides, luxury transport from Dublin, and comfortable Snowdonia accommodation, this challenge combines technical Welsh mountaineering with Celtic hospitality for an adventure that captures the true spirit of the Welsh mountains. Four days. Seven summits. One legendary Welsh odyssey.
