These ancient Snowdonia mountains thrust upwards by volcanic forces 450 million years ago, once grew to heights of 10,000 metres over eons the wind and rain and successive ice ages have sculpted them to their current form with Snowdon being the highest summit in England and Wales.

Walking up and down Snowdon takes on average 6-8 hours. The Llanberis path is the most popular route and advised for a first timer up Snowdon.
It is possible to catch the train up Snowdon and then walk down for possibly the less fit!
The views from the summit of Snowdon are stunning on a clear day. The views from Snowdon are memorable at sunrise and sunset.
