The visitor centre is located on the A5, approximately 5 miles south of Bethesda and approximately 4 miles west of Capel Curig, on the western side of Llyn Ogwen.
There are a number of facilities including toilets, disabled toilets, an information room, public wifi and a small kiosk selling hot and cold snacks.
From the visitor centre you can start a range of walks and climbs in the area. The most popular is the walk to Wales' first ever national nature reserve, the beautiful Cwm Idwal, a glacial lake with a mountainous backdrop.

Hiking

Ogwen Cottage has loos, a cafe and a visitors' centre, making it a perfect starting point for a walk. Open seven days most of the year, it operates reduced hours during the winter months. We had a lovely lamb pasty from here after our Y Garn walk.

Hiking

Plenty of parking, but I would get there early. Cafe, toilets, and a bargain at £6 all day (certainly compared to Pen Y Pass)
