If you park in the laybys near PYG and the Pen y Pass junction don't forget to buy a parking ticket (cash only!) and get it for more hours than you think you'll need. Cars are checked and no-one wants to he rushing off Yr Wyddfa because your parking ticket is expiring!
The off-road footpath up to Pen y Pass is a good warm up!

Lay-bys do get packed quickly beat to get there early as possible or you will struggle to park this is at summer months mind

Try to avoid this section if it's quiet as parking is not free. just behind towards Capel Curig there are free laybys and verges to park on. but i was there January. So not sure what peak season is like.
