Glyder

The Glyderau (a Welsh plural form, equivalent to the English Glyders) are a mountain group in Snowdonia, North Wales. The name derives from the names of the higest peaks in the range. They stretch from Mynydd Llandegai to Capel Curig, and include five of Wales' fourteen or so mountains over 3000-feet high (the "Fourteen Peaks"), and are very popular with walkers and climbers.

Dinorwig power station, a hydroelectric pump-storage power station is built in a cavern within Elidir Fawr. The slopes of the Glyderau also include the lake Llyn Idwal, and a number of 'classic' climbing areas such as Idwal Slabs.

From North-west to South-east, the range includes the following peaks:

• Elidir Fawr (923 m)
• Carnedd y Filiast (821 m)
• Mynydd Perfedd (812 m)
• Foel Goch (831 m)
• Y Garn (947 m)
• Glyder Fawr (999 m)
• Glyder Fach (994 m)
• Tryfan (915 m)
• Y Foel Goch (805 m)
