Glyderau in North Wales is a notable paragliding site, particularly in the Snowdonia region. The primary launch point is located just below the stone wall enclosing the improved land, about a 20-minute walk from the road. For those looking for a higher launch, you can walk up the clearly indicated path from Pen Y Gwryd onto the Glyders. If the wind is more easterly, launching from Moel Berfydd directly above the road junction allows flights over to Lliwedd and Snowdon. The site record for distance is 50.8 km, and while it is regularly used, some cross-country (XC) flights are possible. The best wind direction for this site is from the South. Takeoff height is 410 meters, with a landing height of 375 meters, giving a top-to-bottom height of 35 meters. The site offers a good opportunity to explore the South-facing slopes of the Glyderau. Important safety notes include avoiding landing in fields north of Llyn Gwynant campsite, south of the main road in the Ogwen Valley between Tryfan and Gallt yr Ogof, and north of the road between Plas y Brenin and Capel Curig. Watch out for sea breezes from the West, power lines in the valley towards Llyn Gwynant, and valley skimming jets on weekdays. The terrain includes many rocks and boulders, especially to the west of the takeoff area, which can be hazardous.
