Difficult
Departure from Betws Garmon (Gwynedd)
This is a circular walk climbing Mount Snowdon on the Ranger Path and descending on the Rhyd Ddu Path. It is a steady but easier climb up the mountain using the Ranger Path than the Rhyd Ddu Path, so it makes sense to undertake the walk in a clockwise direction.There are excellent views along the whole walk, but spectacular views off a narrow ridge on the return journey.The paths are quite distinct to follow, so navigation in good weather is straightforward.
