About the Mount Snowdon Day Walk

Majestic Mount Snowdon dominates the glorious ancient landscape of north Wales. At 1,085 metres (3,560 feet), it sits high above the beautiful Llanberis Pass and is surrounded by magnificent scenery.

The route to the summit will follow the Pyg Track, passing the towering outline of Crib Goch, stopping along the way to enjoy the breathtaking views. During the walk you will see lots of evidence of ice-carved landscape with enormous boulders left perched by the retreating glaciers. The views along the ridge of the summit are truly breathtaking. On clear days you can even see as far as theWicklowMountainsinIrelandand the Isle of Man.

After enjoying lunch on the summit, you will descend the mountain by a different route via the Miners track, passing the shining waters of Glaslyn and Llyn Llydaw.
