How tough is it?
This is not a technical hike, but it is also not a stroll up a well laid path. The terrain will be rugged and rocky, but the summit is within reach of any reasonably fit and determined person. Whilst we don’t recommend any specific training just remember that the fitter you are then the more you’ll enjoy it! Snowdon is a mountain. It’s the highest mountain in Wales. The terrain is rugged, rocky and mountainous so please arrive prepared. You’ll need the correct kit and your footwear is particularly important. If you’re not used to hiking or hill-walking then the sooner you start training the better.
“We at Integrity have just started out on our corporate partnership journey with SSCH this year, so we thought why not start big! We opted to take on the Sunrise Challenge and climb Snowdon! I can honestly say it is an experience not to be missed! It was AMAZING, we were not so lucky with the weather, but it just added to the feeling of accomplishment reaching that summit. We are a remote workforce so the team building aspect was invaluable to us alongside raising well over £7K. Ellie, Alexa and the team provided support and encouragement from beginning to end. We are all so exited to start planning our next challenge to support the amazing SSCH!”
