GLYDER FACH GROUP HIKE – 100% PROFIT TO OGWEN VALLEY MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM

A spectacular mountain adventure in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia), taking us from Ogwen Cottage up towards Glyder Fach, one of the most iconic peaks in North Wales hiking through the stunning Ogwen Valley with incredible views across the Ogwen Valley.

This is going to be an amazing mountain day, and I’m really excited to have Martin, a member of the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team, joining us and guiding alongside me. It’s a lovely opportunity to learn more about the work these incredible volunteers do, as well as the history of the team and their connection to the mountains we’ll be exploring.

If the team isn’t called out on the day, we’ll also have the opportunity to visit their base and be shown around. A really special chance to see a little more of what goes on behind the scenes and the people who make it all possible.

Starting from Ogwen Cottage, we’ll head into the heart of the Ogwen Valley towards the summit of Glyder Fach. The route offers some of the most impressive scenery in Eryri, with views towards Tryfan, Y Garn, the Carneddau and the surrounding peaks.

We’ll move at a steady, supportive pace, allowing everyone time to enjoy the mountain and take in the incredible surroundings. As always, there is no ego or pressure to rush, we’ll hike together and make decisions based on the conditions and the group.

TESTIMONIALS

ADVENTURES FEEDBACK

ilaria organised the most fabulous authentic experience - everything was customised and well thought through. The variety of hikes and experiences we had and the personalities of her and her counterpart Anna made the experience one to remember and I would definitely go on another week long trip! The food at the mountain huts they individually selected each day was very high which made the long hikes even more fun.

An incredible experience! ✨️ a once in a lifetime trip to the Dolomites with amazing views. Illa is a beautiful soul with a passion for giving others unique and core memories that last a lifetime. I will be forevee grateful for meeting Illa and honoured to hike with her. She is supportive, encouraging and you will never feel like you can't achieve something with her around. Thank you for everything you do 💜⛰️

It was my first time in the Dolomites and what an experience! Ila prepared an amazing itinerary of beautiful hikes. We had sun, cloud and a little rain, but it didnt stop us. The group was great and can't wait to hike again with Ila.

"What a combo! Ilaria and Anna are the dream team. They organised such a memorable week exploring the Dolomites - all we had to do was turn up and be ready to hike! It was a such a fantastic week being surrounded by the stunning mountains and a great bunch of like-minded people"
