Llanberis Village and Llyn Padarn
Highlight • Settlement
Llanberis is synonymous with Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). It's a popular starting point for some of the easier ways to the roof of Wales. Whether it’s via the Llanberis Path or a ride on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, thousands of people every year head to the village with the summit in their sights.
Long before it was a draw to tourists and hikers, Llanberis was a slate mining town. The Dinorwig Quarry's slate tips are a stark reminder of the region’s heritage.
The village is blessed with several good outdoor gear shops and characterful places to eat and drink.

Bwlch Glas Pass
Highlight • Natural Monument
The finger stone at Bwlch Glas marks the point at which the Pyg and Miners' Tracks reach the summit ridge and join the Crib Goch, Ranger and Llanberis Paths. Particularly helpful in poor visibility.

Snowdon Summit (Yr Wyddfa)
Highlight • Summit
Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is perhaps the most ascended mountain in the world, and with good reason. This is a majestic mountain, as is befitting of Wales' highest point.
Its glory lies in the myriad routes to the summit. There's everything from the gentle inclines of the Llanberis path to the knife-edged arête of Crib Goch. The south side of the mountain is generally quieter, with the South Ridge in particular a fine route up. The Miners' and Pyg Tracks are straightforward, classic approaches that enter the incredible natural amphitheatre that holds Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn.
To get the summit to yourself, rise early and avoid peak season.
