スリン・クエスリン周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

The Llanberis Path is considered the easiest path for climbing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), and it's particularly popular for first-timers. It has a very short steep climb in the beginning don't be put off by this, it then has a long, gradual ascent up to the summit, just over 9 miles up and down.

Depending on fitness levels this route on average takes around 5hrs up and down.

Great view of the lake and the climb to come , stopped for a quick brew before the ascent up

The Bwlch Main (south west ridge) is a great way to descend from the summit of Snowdon, particularly on a winter's day. Great views all the way to the Irish Sea

🥾Bwlch Main (Welsh: “narrow pass”) is the exposed ridge that connects the upper slopes of the Rhyd Ddu Path to the Snowdon summit. A narrow crest with steep drops on either side, making it both dramatic and challenging. The ridge is roughly 500–600m long and feels like a true alpine section compared with the grassy and stony lower parts of the trail. 👥 Quiet & scenic: Unlike the “motorway” feel of the Llanberis Path, Bwlch Main gives a real mountain experience with the thrill of exposure. For experienced hikers seeking an exhilarating experience, it significantly quieter (albeit much easier) than Crib Goch. 👁️‍🗨️ On a clear day you can see the Nantlle Ridge, Moel Hebog, and across to the sea. Looking north, Llyn Cwellyn and the ridges rolling out towards Anglesey. ⚠️ Dramatic ridgeline section: The path to the top of Snowdon from this ridge includes the Llechog ridge, which provide exposure (drops, narrower path sections) the narrow section gets to only a couple of feet wide. You will need a good head for heights! And some boots with good grips for some looser rock or scree sections. Check the mountain forecast before heading out 🌬️ In high winds, the ridge can feel intimidating and unsafe. 🌧️❄️In ice, snow, or heavy rain, the narrow path and sloping rock become treacherous. 😶‍🌫️ Cloud / fog can reduce visibility and make it psychologically harder. To sum up: The Bwlch Main ridge is one of Snowdon’s most thrilling features. It adds a real sense of adventure to the Rhyd Ddu Path. On a good day, it’s a highlight: airy, beautiful, and memorable without being a true scramble. But in poor weather, it can turn from exhilarating to dangerous very quickly. For experienced walkers in fair conditions, it’s one of the most rewarding routes to the summit. For those with vertigo or less mountain experience, it may be better admired from afar.

👥 Quiet & scenic: Compared to many of the more popular Snowdon routes (like Llanberis, Pyg, Miner’s), Rhyd Ddu is significantly quieter. 🥾Variety of terrain: Gravel tracks, grassy slopes, rocky, sometimes boggy/marshy patches in lower or mid-sections, then more exposed terrain and ridge walking near the top. 👁️‍🗨️ Great views especially towards the Nantlle Ridge and Moel Hebog ⚠️ Dramatic ridgeline section: The path crosses Bwlch Main and includes the Llechog ridge, which provide some exposure (drops, narrower path sections) you will need a good head for heights! And some boots with good grips for some looser rock or scree sections. 💨🌧️ Avoid in wet and/or windy conditions. In my view, descending via the Rhyd Ddu Path is a rewarding experience: quieter, dramatic and varied. It feels more wild than some of the more trodden paths. But it's not “easy” just because it’s less crowded, the exposed parts at the very top can catch you out. I would recommend this route for hikers with some level of experience and a good head for heights.

Gradual walk but don’t be fooled that’s it’s an easy route 👌

Beautiful hike, too bad it was cloudy at the top. 12.3 km isn't the actual distance you'll be hiking: it's definitely 10 km more because you can't walk a straight line on this path. It's very busy on this trail; there's a queue to reach the top.
