The Snowdon Retreat, North Wales | 23rd - 25th October 2026

A Two-Night Wild Swim Escape in the Heart of Eryri (Snowdonia)

 

Join us for an all-inclusive retreat based at the exclusively hired Snowdon Ranger Lodge—an 11-bedroom haven nestled on the shores of the serene Llyn (Lake) Cwellyn, beneath the majestic slopes of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).

 

In partnership with expert local swim guides, we’ll uncover Eryri’s best-kept secrets—from mountain-fed rivers and hidden waterfalls to mirror-still lakes and crystal-clear plunge pools. This is our most awe-inspiring retreat yet, combining the magic of cold water immersion with the epic scale of the Welsh mountains.
