Tackle Wales’ highest mountain on one of Snowdon’s classic routes: up the dramatic PYG Track and down the scenic Miners’ Track (or vice versa), forming a satisfying circular hike. You’ll climb through rugged mountain scenery, stand on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m), then descend past glacial lakes Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn with views across the Llanberis Pass.
This is a one‑day summit trek, but we’ll stay overnight nearby so you can start fresh, relax afterwards, and enjoy the mountain atmosphere without rushing.
