Eryri is the Welsh name for Snowdonia. The origin is thought to be from the Latin 'Oriri' which means to rise.
Eryri Mountain Skills :
Eryri Mountain Skills is based in the Conwy Valley on the Eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Having lived in the area all our lives we know it like the back of our hand. We can ensure you get the most out of your trip or course and can take you to special parts of the park which are less frequented.
