Best Walking Routes Up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)

Best Walking Routes Up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)

Are you planning you holiday in North Wales in 2024 and thinking about climbing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)?

At 3560 ft (1,085 m) high it is a justifiably popular outdoor activity and can be both a real adventure and an exhilarating day out with breathtaking views, especially if you get a ‘cloud-free’ summit!

We get lots of guests staying at our accommodation - Crafnant House, our B&B in the village of Trefriw - who come to climb ‘Yr Wyddfa’ (the Welsh name for it) - the highest mountain in Wales and England.

As experienced walkers we’ve hopefully included everything you need to know about the the different paths up and down and our honest opinions on the best and most scenic routes!

Located only 5 miles from our B&B in nearby Trefriw - Crafnant House - Betws-y-Coed rightly claims to be the ‘gateway to Eryri | Snowdonia’ and is well worth visting!

Pronounced bet-us-ee-co-ed, it is often the first place visitors encounter on their visit to the national park and many base themselves in and around the village for their North Wales holiday.

At the confluence of four rivers and surrounded by forests, valleys and lakes, this area is one of the most beautiful and prettiest places to stay in Wales.

Best Alternative Walks In North Wales!

North Wales is one of the most popular walking destinations in the UK!

On offer are mountain peaks, lush valleys, waterfalls, echoes of the area’s industrial past and views of the coast from high ground.

Many of the well known paths and routes - especially up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) itself - can become very busy.

So here are some less popular but no less rewarding alternative walks that we have enjoyed ourselves and recommend!

All are not far from us at Crafnant House, our B&B in the village of Trefriw.
