Aran Fawddwy is the high point of the Arans, a long ridge running north to south between Bala and Dinas Mawddwy. It reaches 906m (2972ft) and has 673m of prominence, which makes it a Hewitt, a Nuttall, a Marilyn and a county top. Erw y Ddafad-ddu (872m) is 1km to the north and Aran Benllyn (885m) 1.9km to the north, on the same ridge.
The standard route from the south starts at Cwm Cywarch near Dinas Mawddwy and climbs through the Hengwm valley to the ridge. From the north, a long ridge walk from Llanuwchllyn goes over Aran Benllyn to Aran Fawddwy.
The summit has a trig pillar. The east face drops in crags to Creiglyn Dyfi, the lake at the source of the River Dyfi. The ridge is rocky and exposed to wind, and in cloud you need a compass to stay on the right spur.
