Glyderau in Wales

Tryfan and The Glyderau

The Glyderau ( the Glyders)

are a mountain group in Snowdonia, North Wales.


The name derives from the highest peaks

in the range - Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach.

According to Sir Ifor Williams,

the word "Glyder"

derives from the Welsh word "Gludair"

meaning a heap of stones.

The Glyderau stretch from

Mynydd Llandegai to Capel Curig 

and include five of the Welsh Munros

  - summits over 3000 feet;

 including Tryfan

- one of the finest mountains in Wales

and one of the few mountains

on the UK mainland requiring

scrambling to reach the summit.

The eastern half of the range

with Glyder Fawr, Glyder Fach and Tryfan

is very popular with walkers and climbers.
