Everything you need to know on this Snowdon adventure via the PYG Track and Miners Track

This is a fantastic route up Snowdon and my prefered walk when taking others. We start at the car park at Pen y Pass Youth Hostel.

Getting to the start point:
Park at Pen y Pass:
You can park at the start point but this is very limited and usually full. It is best to book parking on the website before you arrive. https://www.justpark.com/uk/parking/s...

There are several laybys with paid parking nearby. There are also some free laybys further out but if you are having difficulty you can get busses from the nearby villages.

Buss to Pen y Pass:
There are regular and reasonably priced busses to the car park from the nearby villages. On the day I went, which was a bank holiday Monday they were arriving every 15 mins. https://snowdoninfo.com/sherpa-bus-se...

The Route:
This is my usual route up Snowdon. Although most people will start down the miners track this leaves all the ascent to be done in one go once you pass Glaslyn. The Pyg track splits the climb into 2 parts divided by a long flattish walk and views over the lakes.
The path is very stable for most of the journey and provides an enjoyable hike to the top of Wales. This is a "must do mountain" for hikers and one I hope you love!
