At Large Outdoors, we offer expertly guided sunrise walks on Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Ben Nevis, and Scafell Pike. For those wanting a more immersive experience, our weekend packages combine sunrise adventures with sociable group accommodation and great food.

The Delights of Night Walks

Walking at night is a completely different experience to daytime adventures. The mountains feel more serene, the air is cooler, and the starlit skies are nothing short of enchanting. If the weather plays along, you may even spot shooting stars or the Milky Way stretching across the heavens.

And then there’s the main event – reaching the summit just in time to watch the sunrise. The colours of dawn spreading across the sky and the landscapes below coming to life are moments that stay with you forever.

Of course, as with all things British, the weather doesn’t always cooperate. Sometimes the views might be hidden by cloud or mist, but even then, the sense of achievement and the camaraderie of the group make the experience unforgettable. When conditions are clear, though, it’s absolutely spectacular – a memory you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

A night-time ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Scafell Pike, or Ben Nevis isn’t just a unique adventure – it’s also a powerful way to raise funds for charity.
