The Minffordd Path starts at the Dol-y-cae car park and climbs steeply up through woodland to emerge on the mountainside below Llyn Cau. From here, it follows the rocky ridgeline to the west of the llyn, over Craig Cau and steeply up to the summit of Cadair Idris. It's a great run either as an out and back or combined with a different descent or ascent to create a loop.
The trail is 2.8 miles (4.5 km) each way and has about 2,585 feet (788 m) of ascent.
