Yr Wyddfa Snowdon summit - one of the best views in Snowdonia Eryri

September 10, 2024

Stunning sunrise on Snowdon Yr Wyddfa

Yr Wyddfa Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales and also one of the most popular mountain summits for visitors. The views from the summit of Snowdon can be pretty incredible, if you're lucky to catch good weather. A sunrise is my favourite time to climb to the top of Snowdon Yr Wyddfa as during autumn & spring it's nowhere near as busy as the summer months. The weather conditions also give you a great chance of photographing a temperature inversion where the clouds surround Wales's highest peak like a blanket. Here are some of my favourite photos taken from the summit of Snowdon in Eryri Snowdonia National Park. If you'd like to see more please visit my website gallery:

This photo was captured following a pre-dawn hike to the summit which turned out to be a pretty spectular morning in the Snowdonia National Park with Mother Nature putting on an amazing temperature inversion below Snowdon summit. snowdon summit snowdonia inversion photo North Wales mountainsSnowdon summit above the cloudsAn incredible view of a temperature inversion from the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Eryri Snowdonia.
