Although some sections at Snowdon's summit are unrideable, hiking your bike up to the 3,560 foot (1,085 m) peak is well worth it.

The views are nothing short of spectacular, there's a busy cafe should you need to refuel, as well as a train back down, though you'd be missing one of the longest, most enjoyable mountain descents in the UK!

Please take note of the voluntary cycling agreement on Snowdon and avoid riding to or from the summit between 10am and 5pm from the 1st May to the 30th September.

Please avoid riding to or from the summit between 10am & 5pm from the 1st May to the 30th September.

This is due to the high numbers of visitors at this time. It’s for everybody’s safety and it’s no fun trying to ride the mountain when the hordes are all over it. Heading up in the evening to descend as the sun sets is a magic experience, especially finished off with a pint and chips!
