Snowdon<\/a> (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh) is the highest mountain in England and Wales at 1,085m (3,560ft). The Snowdon range covers 16 square miles and gave birth to Welsh rock climbing in the 19th century. Today the tracks are bustling all year round and there are plenty of varied routes to the top.<\/p>\n

This circular route from\u00a0Pen-y-Pass combines two of Snowdon\u2019s best trails: the Miners\u2019 Track and the Pyg Track. Those looking for a more gradual ascent to the Snowdon summit should consider the 9-mile Llanberis Path<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Park, or alight the Sherpa Bus, at the Pen-y-Pass car park off the A4086.<\/p>\n
This is the highest road access point to the mountain, so the views are epic right from the start. Even if the fog is hanging low you can still see the outlines of the peaks as you wind up the road to the pass. Begin by taking the Miners\u2019 Track, which is clearly signposted to the left of the car park. As the path begins to tuck around to the right Llyn Teyrn comes into view.<\/p>\n
