Photos

Group at the summit of Snowdon View from the summit

Important Information

Our route to the summit will be by the Llanberis Path.
Starting in Llanberis we will follow the tarmac road around Coed Victoria and past a small cottage where we leave the road and join a broad stony path.
The path rises gradually becoming steeper as it gets closer to the railway track.
It then crosses the railway and continues beside the track, getting steeper towards Clogwyn Station.
Some of the best views of the mountain can be had from here so be sure to take some photos of the famous Clogwyn Ddu’r Arddu.
After about 1km the path joins the Pyg track and the Snowdon Horseshoe route on Garnedd Ugain and the path closely follows the railway track the rest of the way to the summit.
This path is 10 miles long from start to finish and was originally made as a pony and mule track from Llanberis to the summit.
This makes it easy underfoot helping you to achieve your goal.
