This is a hiking guide for my up to Snowdon Summit from Llanberis using the Llanberis Path. I put this together to give you a clearer idea of the terrain, as well as to further understand the look, feel and dynamic of the hike. If your looking for a great hike for your next adventure then I can highly recommend this route, its great for beginners and give a real taste of what its like to experience the outdoors in Snowdonia National Park.

[@qualitymountainday]

Thanks for the update 👍

[@Prof.Polymath]

Also, no toilets at the cafe half way up. And nothing found at the top either unless accessed by the train? There were people sat eating at tables inside the train station at the very top somehow..? Best advice I can give to anyone, don’t listen to all these help guides telling you to take everything you can incase of emergency, it’s harder carrying all that food and drink up with you to only carry most of it back down again unused. I carried about an extra 10kg which could have been left behind and would have made my walk a lot easier. Sticks are for those who’ve already had a hip replaced, and shorts are for idiots still showing off their new leg tattoos, it’s cold up there, no one believes otherwise just because you’re wearing shorts, you’re not brave, you’re just stupid. 👍🏼

[@mirzasady]

This , by far , is the best video on Snowdonia hiking guide yet it has only 10k views. Other videos have way more like 50k and more just because they have less substance but more silliness . Thank you for this video mate, you have drawn the picture of the entire hiking with surgical precision.

[@qualitymountainday]

Legend, thanks so much mate!

[@mirzasady]

@@qualitymountainday quick question mate. Is the path quite close to the cliff ? I am acrophobic.

[@qualitymountainday]

@@mirzasady not really, I mean you can walk near the edge if you want, but if not just stick to the path, there is no real exposure on this route at any point.

This was just what I needed to settle my nerves before attempting Snowdon. You’ve helped make my mind up about which path I want to take! Keep up the great work

Great video as always. I like your accent❤❤

[@troylawrence1754]

Too many comments to search through to check if this has already been mentioned but you cannot guarantee a train back down the mountain. You cannot book a one way return ticket. You CAN book a one way UP the mountain and hope for a spot on the return train but you cannot book one. (based on current Feb 2023 search of tkt purchase) Train doesn’t go to summit until May 13 so you need to walk the rest to the top but then not guarantee train back down. (Basically need to plan for a complete walk back down to car park). The 1/2 hour train stop at Clogwyn station wouldn’t allow you to reach summit and get back for return train ride. Hope this helps someone 😊

Little update, we did It yesterday morning, 2.35am. We managed to get up to the top at precisely 4.35am. I had no idea we will be so fast, this was just our second mountain hike, but I guess our training prepared us well...😅✌ + the OS app was pure gold, and I only found It through you! Major game changer during a night hike, especially with the few unclear paths. We meet an English man while going down who waited the whole summer for the weather report to be as good as yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot again for your video, it was by far the best one to prepare us safely for the hike! We would have NEVER done it in 2h without you! 🤜🤛 Cheers!

[@qualitymountainday]

Man that's awesome, I'm so glad your trip went so well and as far as the app goes, it's such a great tool to reference, and at night yes it's pure gold even if just to reference your on the right track, we'll done!

[@bobbyladd]

I did the ranger path 10 years ago and I'm coming back soon to have another go, but this time to do the Llanberis path. It's an organised group tour to watch the sunset at the top (weather permitting) and walk down wearing head lights - which will be a new experience for me. Just hoping we'll get down past the rockier bits of the path before it's too dark.😁

[@qualitymountainday]

Enjoy, you'll be fine with a good head torch. If you have a set of hiking poles, take them. Theyll come in useful on the descent at night 👍

[@rockyharp1867]

Hi happy new year. Myself and a few friends are hoping to give this a go in May. (We are all 1st time hikers) how long roughly will this take in total?

[@trekkingdoctor5854]

Rocky Harp Hi it will take ~ 5-6 hours, to summit and back to llanberis. Of course depends on fitness level. I am sure you will enjoy the hiking. There is plenty of free parking, just look around, need to come early in the day. But if you wish to park in a paid car park, there is plenty again costs £5 to £10 pounds. Path has been improved significantly in the last few weeks. Rest of info in the excellent video by Bold Adventures.

[@MDALAM-nh2sh]

one of the best guide video. not sure why 7 people dislike it.

[@qualitymountainday]

Thanks for that, some people are just haters, and will always be haters 😂you gotta laugh, I look forward to doing more of these.

[@OutandaboutwithSpencer]

Car park is £6 for the day. Just a point, the train is not running to the summit until next year and when it does it is not always available for one way travel so be prepared to walk back down. Great video for someone who has not been before. 👍 my favourite route is Watkin path up and South ridge down. Well impressed with the video and editing..you will have to give me some lessons one day!

[@qualitymountainday]

Awesome, Thanks for letting the community know mate!

[@Morbuto]

Just to add to that, currently (May 2021) it seems only return tickets are available and not going all the way to the summit (and only a 30m stop at the top). Cafe is closed 🥲

[@nepalirunner]

Wow... I was searching for a clear guidance type video to attempt a run up and down to summit... this is perfect. I am glad that I found this video. I can just park and run straight up without worrying the route. I defo want to use OS map now for my other running venture. Could you please tell me how you play the OS ROUTE on the video and how can I use your link on my phone? Thank you.

[@qualitymountainday]

No worries, unfortunately the fly through can only be viewed on desktop versions of the app I think, I can't use that feature on my phone either. You should still be able to view the link for the standard map to follow on your phone though, the app is well worth the £25 a year cost if your gotta get the use out of it, it's my go to place to plan routes for hiking & running

[@cameirusisu1024]

I prefer the snowdon ranger, or Rhyd-du paths, the Llanberis path is my least favorite, its long and relatively boring and packed. But the best route up is via Y Lliwedd, but that has a short section of mild scrambling. You can do a nice loop from teh Nantgwynant car park, up the path to the disused mine, cross the grass slopes up to Gallt y Wenallt, follow the ridge along to Y Lliwedd, then up to the summit (up scree here but not bad), then back down the watkin path, or Allt Maenderyn, stopping in the valley to have a dip in the pools and enjoy the waterfalls, then back down to the car park.

[@qualitymountainday]

Sounds good 👍

[@dorindaxavier6137]

Thank you so much for this. It's the video I've been searching for. Can I also check if path involves scrambling in any way?

[@qualitymountainday]

No problem, the Llanberis path does not involve scrambling in any way.

[@wrathchild68]

You're right about the railway. Going in couple of weeks and the other half can't really trek that far so we looked at the railway. Unfortunately the top part is closed this year and it's also £35 return or £25 one way. Way to expensive to do I'm afraid.

[@qualitymountainday]

Yea it's pretty expensive like, hopefully you'll get to experience it sometime soon 👍

You are a top man. I really enjoyed the video and very neatly explained. Can you do something similar for the Pyg/Miner track. I am going via this track as I have my partner and a 5 yr old who would climb the summit with me. Do you advice Llanberis track against the Miner track as I have company?

[@qualitymountainday]

Thanks for the great comment, I mean the pyg track will be fine with a family, depends on they're capability and fitness level obviously. But both paths are a great hike. I'll do one for the pyg track soon as I know that's one of the most popular paths hiked on snowdon.

Thanks for the great video. We are catching the train 3/4 of the way up but want to walk down. Which path will take us back to the train station car park please?

[@qualitymountainday]

The llanberis path will take you back to the train station from the summit, just make sure you take the right path. Otherwise you'll end up on the opposite side of the mountain range, so I would familiarise yourself with the route back beforehand 👍

[@rachelbadham8477]

@@qualitymountainday thankyou 🙏

[@FuzzyDPozzy]

I should have seen this first haha but still was able to see most. The only thing was that there was no buses to return and I had to pay 60$ to go bagnor to catch the train... I dont know if it was worth to rent a car but yeah..

Cor that's unlucky about the bus, I mean next time you could try finding some others who could car share on socials, might make it a bit more affordable, glad you enjoyed your day though!

[@kalsing]

Thanks for all the info! Once at the top of the summit, would you recommend walking down the ranger park or a different one back to the car park?

[@qualitymountainday]

I mean if you want to turn it into a longer hike, then yes this can be done, I would familiarise yourself with the route first though as it will be slightly steeper and looser underfoot than the route up. I haven't done it myself, but from the map it looks like a nice circular walk.

[@kalsing]

@@qualitymountainday thanks for the advice! Will discuss it with our group. Which is your top favourite route for a day hike to and fro the summit?

[@davidgeorge1281]

I found the Miners path to be excellent for the first 3/4, last section was hard as I'm 54, overweight and unfit. Took my time and had plenty of breaks but got up there with no issues. The decent down to Llanberis was a different story, I felt it was s lot longer, fatigue set in half way down and I pulled my knee, I was in considerable pain by the time we'd got to the car. Wish now I'd parked by the hostel and done Miners up and Pyg down, steeper but a lot shorter for this fat old boy.

[@davidgeorge1281]

Did it last week and it was warm sunny and dry took us seven hours which included lunch at the top and a few breaks. I think if you are in reasonable shape you won't have any issues so long as you keep well away from Crib Goch!

The train will only be running to Clogwyn Station between 1st April & 3rd June. If you want to walk down from Clogwyn it'll be easy enough to hit the main tourist path from there. It's just south of the station stop itself. Hiking down shouldn't be a problem as this is on the main tourist path. I obviously don't know the capability of you or your child though.

Is it allowed to stay overnight at the summit, set up camera and take photos of the night sky/milky way, then climb back down in the morning?

[@qualitymountainday]

If you can find a spot to camp then I guess you could however snowdon is the busiest summit in the UK day & Night with all the Snowdon night hikes & 3 peak challenges on every week. So it'd be difficult to be at the summit undisturbed on any night. I could be done if you bivvy instead of camp, and are selective about where you decide to put your camera. I wouldn't leave it on the summit itself though as there will be a lot of people passing by it at night also.

[@IrfanOomer]

Hi mate, great video. I’ve done quite a few hikes, Ben Nevis, Scafell, Skiddaw and now going to Snowdon on Sunday. Which route would you recommend for someone that is not a beginner and has a few hikes under their belt? I think Crib Goch is a no at this stage.

[@qualitymountainday]

Both the Pyg Track and Watkin Path are great, but are very tourist dominant. If your looking for a good route without crowds then I'd say the Ranger Path it comes up snowdon from the west and is still a very scenic hike. I'll link a video so you can see it!

£11 per day in that particular car park

[@philheath4321]

Do you park up by the rail way then walk up wasn't sure if you ment park up and walk past the cafe or drive ?

[@qualitymountainday]

Yes, the car park is opposite the railway, you can park there and then follow the route up. I do know parking changes took effect in snowdonia last year, so it may be that now, parking needs to be pre booked, so I'd just double check.

[@philheath4321]

@@qualitymountainday thanks for replying can we camp out there ?

[@qualitymountainday]

@@philheath4321 you can find campsites in & around llanberis yes, but if you mean wild camp, it's possible yes, but not very wild it's a very busy tourist route so you'd need to pitch very late and leave very early, and obviously stick to good wild camping protocols. Campsites are plentiful around the area though.

[@rickywiltshire5579]

Llanberis is a nice starter path, borderline boring. Best views are no doubt on the Rhyd du route

[@qualitymountainday]

Awesome, glad you enjoy multiple trips up Snowdon, via multiple routes 👍

[@kjdempsey]

Brilliant video mate, I’m doing a two day camp there from 3rd-5th September, never been before, is the Watkins path the best one?

[@qualitymountainday]

I mean it's different for everyone, my fave is crib Goch, but the watkin path sure is great if your looking for waterfalls and maybe a dip in one. Have a great time 👍

[@kjdempsey]

@@qualitymountainday that’s exactly what I’m looking for, thank you very much mate

[@justanotherviewer00]

Are there any toilets on the mountain?

[@qualitymountainday]

If the summit Cafe is open then yes. If its not open then no.

Hello my friend, I want to visit snowdon next weekend. I tried to use your route on OS maps but for some reason it's not working. Can you fix this please? Thanks.

[@qualitymountainday]

Have a nice time, it's set to share for everyone so it should work, maybe try again. Have a great time.

I am travelling to London from India. I will be living in Northolt. How do I reach the base of Snowdon? How long will it take me to reach the base? What is the ideal time to start the trek? Thank You in advance 😊

[@qualitymountainday]

It all depends on which route your planning to take to the summit?

[@Punjabibahman]

Sorry where do you start from?

[@qualitymountainday]

Start point for the llanberis path in this video is basically opposite the Snowdon mountain railway, but the actual path begins once you leave the road and head through the gate at grid ref: 582589

[@amyschat5711]

This is a brilliant video super helpful. We’re wanting to do snowdon but I’m petrified of heights cause of the steep drops , would you say this path has a lot of steep drops or is it okay?

[@qualitymountainday]

No Amy if there's any path to start with then this one is it, there isn't any real exposure at all except for far reaching views on a clear day. It's a great route to start with, go enjoy it. Thanks for the video feedback also!

[@amyschat5711]

@@qualitymountainday ahhh brilliant thank you

[@rmiceli10]

Hi. This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you. My question, llanberis seems to be the obvious route for a beginner to go up, which I am. Do you know if Watkin would be too challenging a path downwards as I very much want to see the waterfalls?

[@qualitymountainday]

Hey thanks, no the watkin path would be fine it gets a bit steeper towards the top but not unmanageable, it's totally doable by beginners, the waterfalls are much lower down anyway at the beginning of the route.

[@rmiceli10]

@@qualitymountainday Thanks so much for your reply. Will certainly think about it. I might just come down Llanberis and walk up Watkin to the waterfalls another day. Safe travels.

[@qualitymountainday]

Sounds great have a good trip 👍

[@craigobrien5098]

What if you arrive in the car park at 2am? is there a machine?

[@qualitymountainday]

I think there is still a machine, I haven't been in a while to that car park, but I think you can also phone and pay as well.

[@kalsing]

How much water and snacks should one carry to and fro the summit?

[@qualitymountainday]

I mean thats entirely up to you and how much you think you'll need, not a great deal though, some snacks a suitable lunch will be fine, whatever your preferred diet is.

[@kalsing]

@@qualitymountainday thanks for the advice 👍🏼 for lunch you recommend a meal such as the Firepot brand which I saw on your other videos and I’ll try it out. Awesome job, keep it up

[@qualitymountainday]

Yea firepot is good, I only really use them for nights out though, just take some normal lunch really on a day route.
