North Wales Active - Gorge Walking / Scrambling description

Snowdonia & North Wales gorge walking / scrambling has become hugely popular over the last few years due to the accessibility of the gorges and the fact that it's an all weather and all year round activity.

North Wales Active only use experienced & qualified instructors who know and work in these gorges all year round.

We have one main gorge that we use which has different elements and challenges. All challenges are fun & range in difficulty but not all essential to do to complete the gorge. Jumps range from 1ft-10ft but not essential to complete the gorge. This gorge is suitable for everyone. The whole session takes 2 - 2.5 hours to complete depending on ability, fitness and group size.

Scrambling, climbing, squeezes, swimming and jumping our way up this amazingly beautiful gorge.
