Hiking trails up Moel Hebog at once lift you above beautiful Beddgelert and provide outstanding views of Snowdon and her majestic national park. This commanding mountain is craggy and breathtaking when viewed from the village, an almost intimidating sight. With its sister peaks of Moel yr Ogof and Moel Lefn, you can expand your hike into a grand, all day affair or keep it short and steep with Hebog only.

Hiking

Moel Hebog is Beddgelert’s peak; the mountain rises sheer and proud above the village like a protective guardian, tall and craggy from the east, rounded and green to the west. Its geology is the stuff of textbooks, and a cave on Hebog’s neighbouring offspring Moel yr Ogof once hid a Welsh Prince.

Hiking

Moel Hebog has a rocky surface with a distinctive pointed top, although it appears more rounded from other sides. Due to the exposed rock, it is often visited by geology students. A large part of the mountain consists of tuff.
