Snowdonia has been renowned for walking since Victorian times.
There are plenty of paths on Snowdon, but the surrounding mountains are often quieter and equally spectacular.
Cnicht an Easier Climb
Cnicht is said to be the best mountain for first-timers. Moel Siabod incorporates some easy scrambling.
If you climb this peak on a clear day, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular panorama of the Snowdon Horseshoe.
Snowdon
Mount Snowdon; the easiest route to the top is the Llanberis path; the Miners’ Track and the Pyg Track are both interesting alternative ascents.
Although some walks will require mountaineering skills there are a wealth of footpaths in the lower hills and valleys which provide all day walks with spectacular views of mountains without the same effort.
The Two Lakes Walk
The Two Lakes walk, on the Conwy side of the Carneddau takes in ruined lead mines and a memorial to a poet as well as the lovely long views along Llyn Geirionydd and Llyn Crafnant. Gwydyr Forest Park; extensive woodland walking from above the Conwy Valley to the south of Betws-y-Coed.
There are several forest walks for people of all abilities and levels of fitness, and a chance to see the famous Swallow Falls.
