Navigation & Mountain Walking Courses, Snowdonia, North Wales

Snowdonia boasts some of the finest hiking in the UK. With mountains as high as Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) at a height of 1085m and another 14 peaks over the height of 915m (3000ft) in the surrounding areas, there are plenty of high peaks for you to explore.

But mountains can be a dangerous place to travel in poor weather or if you get caught out by the dark - so the art of navigation is essential to secure your safe travel through these mountains. The aim is to equip you with this essential skill so you can relocate and get yourself out of complicated terrain and feel confident in the mountains.

We have a no nonsense approach to running open courses - if you are booked on the course, it will be running.  We never cancel a course due to low numbers. We also keep the ratios low, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost in a large group. For you, this means you get as much time as possible with the instructor, and as much out of your course as you want.
