Country - Wales
Majestic Mount Snowdon dominates the glorious ancient landscape of North Wales.
At 3,560ft (1,085m) it is a true mountain and a place of legend – said to be the burial place of the giant ogre Rhita, vanquished by King Arthur. Some believe that Arthur’s Knights still sleep beneath.
Our route to the Summit will be by The Llanberis Path up and down – 10 miles (14.5km) return.
The walk will take approximately 6-8 hours and the grade is
moderate. The Llanberis Path is not the shortest but it is the easiest in terms of steepness and terrain and the path is obvious all the way up.
The path was originally used as a pony and mule track to carry tourists up from Llanberis.
The gradient is always there – there is no easy way to climb over 3,000ft.
