The Snowdon Ranger Path is one of the most common routes up the mountain. Being the longest, the route presents hikers with a more gradual climb and offers ample opportunity to enjoy the surrounding landscape. It'll get a little steeper as you approach the summit, however, and you should probably pack a raincoat irrespective of what the weather forecast says...

Hiking

One of the quietest routes up the mountain, choose this way to avoid most of the crowds and get the best of the views.

Hiking

In my view the best way to get up Snowdon. Car park is £6 all day.
