This is a fantastic route up Snowdon and my prefered walk when taking others. We start at the car park at Pen y Pass Youth Hostel.
Getting to the start point:
Park at Pen y Pass:
You can park at the start point but this is very limited and usually full. It is best to book parking on the website before you arrive. www.justpark.c...
There are several laybys with paid parking nearby. There are also some free laybys further out but if you are having difficulty you can get busses from the nearby villages.
Busses to Pen y Pass:
There are regular and reasonably priced busses to the car park from the nearby villages. On the day I went, which was a bank holiday Monday they were arriving every 15 mins. snowdoninfo.co...
The Route:
This is my usual route up Snowdon. Although most people will start down the miners track this leaves all the ascent to be done in one go once you pass Glaslyn. The Pyg track splits the climb into 2 parts divided by a long flattish walk and views over the lakes.
The path is very stable for most of the journey and provides an enjoyable hike to the top of Wales. This is a "must do mountain" for hikers and one I hope you love!

Nice video! I will confess - we took the train up a few weeks ago. We were only in the area for a few days - and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to see Snowden. Weather was very unpredictable - and I’m just grateful that we were able to visit the summit. The views going up were incredible - when the clouds weren’t moving in. 😊 Would love to hike it someday!

Hey Barbera, as long as you made it that’s the main thing. I’ve got another way up snowdon coming next week but it’s absolutely crazy😂. When you hike it this is my recommended route, it’s incredible. I hope you get to do it soon 😁⛰️🥾

@@trekkingwithtony Crib Goch! You won’t find me there!! 😂 But kudos to those who have conquered it! We were visiting from Florida - so not sure when we will get the chance again - but it is on my bucket list! Thank you for your hiking videos.

If you are sure-footed then by far the best route up Snowdon is Crib Goch. I did it in winter, over 40 years ago, on a sunny day, when it was covered in snow. That was really scenic.

It is great up there. I recorded it a few weeks back but I’ve never been up in the snow kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32ZoWlmjN2BsMUsi=WpPcy85f23nFtp1k Sounds like you had a great day for it Dave. Great work for getting it bagged mate🥾⛰️😁

Great video Tony. How on Earth did you manage to get the trig to yourself on a B/H? We were up there mid week in the clag with no train right to the top and they were queuing back down the mountain to touch the trig! We’re there again later this year, so hopefully it’ll be quieter with some views.

Thanks Tony, a total fluke with the too being empty. The days before were better and it was forecast thunder later so I just got lucky 🍀. I hope it’s the same for you this year 👍

Hi Tony, Hi Alison, Brilliant guys, so glad you got the views from the top. And you did so well to get up there when it wasn’t too busy. I was up there a couple of years ago in July, not very enjoyable at all with the amount of people up there. All he best guys Dave 😀⛰🥾

@trekkingwithtony 4 ай бұрын

Hi Dave, Thanks mate, the cloud was up and down so we got lucky 🍀. I know what you mean there. The last time I was there there was a queue for the summit. I think the train had just arrived 😆. Thanks for your support as always. All the best out there mate 😁
