| The dramatic mountain scenery of the Snowdonia National Park is home to a wide range of mountain-based activities for all ages and abilities.
The gorges and waterfalls used for canyoning would be busy tourist attractions if everybody could get to them! Spectacular waterfalls confront you as you jump, slide, swing, swim and climb your way along, guided by imposing gorge walls. Snowdonia has an impressive array of venues to choose from, created by the years of cascading water eroding steep mountainsides. As routes dictate, ropes may be used for safety in the form of handrails, swings, zip lines or abseils. Make sure you have got a head for heights!
Canyoning is not just about jumping off big cliffs and battling waterfalls. This sport can get you to stunning locations seldom seen by others. Many of the gorges used in North Wales are Sites of Special Scientific Interest due to the abundance of rare plant life that can thrive in the damp atmosphere. With care you may see rare ferns or smell the wonderful pungent aroma of wild garlic.
The gorges of North Wales provide a wide range of difficulty and duration. So let your provider know what you want from them and they should be able to recommend the appropriate experience for you. This means that even if you are new to the outdoors or your fitness level is not what it once was you will leave the gorge buzzing and wanting more.
