Create an itinerary including Snowdon
Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, with an altitude of 1,085 m (3,560 ft). The microclimate and ecological beauty earned it the designation of the National Nature Reserve. Access the top by train or challenge yourself by going on foot. If you enjoy hiking or mountain climbing, choose from a variety of trail paths rated according to difficulty. Once at the top, enjoy some of the farthest-reaching views of the British Isles, including Ireland, Scotland, and England. For the least-strenuous route to the top, board the round-trip Victorian rack-and-pinion train. Either way, you can stop in for a mountaintop lunch at the summit cafe. Put Snowdon at the forefront of your travel plans using our Nant Peris day trip planner.

    I hiked on 23/4/2022 via Llanberis Route. Visibility was very poor, solo but enjoyed it. It was mainly a solo hike as I started very early at about 5am. It was very windy at top & could hardly hold...

    Early(ish) start required to get parked in a layby on the way up the main road (arriving much after 0830 and you'd struggle) and then straight up to the peak using the more gentle path, an easy walk.....  more

    Stunning landscape, steep climb, 100% exposure to the sun and wind.
  • By José Gómez
    Beautiful as hell, but the long queues are something to keep in mind when planning to go.
