Join us for a night time adventure underneath the stars

Following three incredible years we'll be back in 2025 hoping to make this our biggest night hike yet!  We're taking on Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) by night and would love for you to join us.  Let's make this year even bigger! Lace up your boots, grab your torch and take part in our Snowdon climb at night. 

With your fellow walkers, you will leave the streetlights of Llanberis and walk into the darkness of the night, wearing your head torch, leaving a glowing trail up the mountain.

With the support of Mountain leaders, you will ascend higher and higher along the Llanberis path with its gradual climb.  On your descent from the summit, you may get the chance to watch the sun rise as you reflect on your amazing achievement and enjoy the stunning views of Snowdonia National Park. 

With the warmth of the morning sun to guide you home, you must summon the energy to return back down the track. Upon arrival at the finish, you will be able to enjoy a celebratory breakfast.

Who will you climb Snowdon for?

With over 200 other climbers taking part for Sands many will be walking in memory of their precious baby. By taking part you can walk alone reflecting on your own memories and you can also have the chance to share memories with your friends, family and new friends too. It is such a beautiful hike to be a part of and all funds raised will help us save babies' lives and help anyone affected by the death of a baby.
