Headed up Snowdon also known as Yr Wyddfa,
This is also one of the longest routes, with a difficulty level of 4/5, therefore a good level of fitness is required. The trail begins with a path on a steady incline, and gets harder and harder as you progress through. The Llanberis Path leads slightly away to the right of the railway line for the next mile until reaching Clogwyn Station. It’s at this point where the climbs begin to steepen and your legs may start to ache as they come across sharp inclines and massive rocks. The views of Cwm Brwynog and Llyn Du’r Arddu on your right are a welcome sight and the perfect reason to stop for a break.

It was all worth it after being greeted with the most stunning Easterly views, and are some of the most photographed in Snowdonia. The Snowdon Horseshoe can be seen in all its glory with the knife-edge ridge of Crib Goch running towards Garnedd Ugain on the left and the steep cliffs of Y Lliwedd on the right. Below, the Pyg Track and Miners Track run via the mountain lakes of Glaslyn (small one) and Llyn Llydaw (large one). The peaks of Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr and Y Garn are in the distance.
