FAMILY ADVENTURES
If you’re looking for something a bit different to do as a family, why not head into the mountains? Whether you’re visiting Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park on holiday or looking for something to keep the kids busy during the school holidays, we can tailor a day out to suit your family. Choose from a guided mountain walk, an outdoor rock climbing session, or a combination of the two. No experience is needed, and the day is planned around your family’s confidence, fitness and sense of adventure. All children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the day.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Every Family Adventure is different, but here are a few ideas.
FAMILY MOUNTAIN WALKS
There are plenty of great walks in Snowdonia National Park (Eryri) that are ideal for families. We’ll choose a route that suits your group, whether you’re after a relaxed walk to a lake, a mountain summit, or somewhere a little quieter away from the crowds.
Along the way we can cover things like:
- Building confidence on uneven ground.
- Basic map reading and navigation.
- Mountain safety.
- Wildlife and the history of the area.
- How to enjoy the mountains responsibly.
OUTDOOR ROCK CLIMBING
If you’ve always fancied giving climbing a go, this is a great place to start.
We’ll head to one of the fantastic climbing venues in North Wales, where you’ll learn the basics in a relaxed and supportive environment. All climbing equipment is provided.
It’s all about having a go, trying something new and enjoying the experience.
Want to Mix It Up?
If you’d like to combine walking and climbing in the same day, that’s no problem. We can build an itinerary that gives you a bit of both.
Who is this course for?
These days are ideal for:
- Families on holiday in Snowdonia (Eryri).
- Parents looking for school holiday activities.
- Families wanting to try outdoor climbing for the first time.
No previous experience is needed, and we’ll tailor the day to suit your group.
WhAT DO I NEED?
We’re not suggesting you to go out & spend all the money on all the latest technical kit, this is just a sensible list that in terms of keeping safe & comfortable, works. In the same vein, the weather on the day & the time of year will be big factors to help decide what you will & won’t pack. Ascent guides are more than happy to give advice and/or answer any questions you have regarding kit.
