Other walks in the area
Rhyd-Ddu & Llyn y Gader
Pretty walk across the South-West slopes of Snowdon, then a riverside section and finally woodland and a lake
Snowdon via the South Ridge and Rhyd-ddu Path
This ascent of Snowdon is realatively quiet yet allows the walker to appreciate the grandeur of the highest mountain in Wales. The outward route uses Snowdon's south ridge with the return route following the Rhyd-Ddu path.
Snowdon Ranger and Rhyd Ddu Paths
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.
Mynydd Mawr from Fron
A straightforward and short ascent in Snowdonia from the village of Fron, with fine views on the way up towards Moel Tryfan and Caernarfon castle in the north, and the Nantlle Ridge to the south.
Cnicht, Moel Druman and Allt-fawr from Croesor
This Snowdonia walk explores four peaks in the Moelwyns. These summits are not the most popular in the area but offer excellent walking and an insight into the now defunct slate quarrying industry.
Snowdon and Y Lliwedd from Pen-y-pass
This Snowdonia walk starts from Pen-y-Pass and uses the Pyg Track towards the summit of Snowdon. The route then crosses Y Lliwedd to pick up the Miner's Track for the return to the start. Good navigational skills are essential when leaving Snowdon and because of this, the walk is recommended for experienced walkers only.
Snowdon from Llanberis
Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, is the objective of this walk. This route is the easiest way to Snowdon's summit. Starting in Llanberis, it must be remembered this walk is a serious mountain expedition so you should go fully prepared.
Moel Eilio & Moel Cynghorion from Llanberis
A Snowdonia walk that explores two less frequented summits from Llanberis. The walk offers grandstand views over many of the high peaks of Snowdonia and is more challenging than first impressions might suggest.
