Want a more challenging route with fantastic views The Watkin Path maybe for you. Please note there is steep drops but the path. you will require some degree of fitness and the correct clothes as it can and did snow and next day i had what felt like 30c so you get all seasons in one. If you never have been mountain walking do in the warmest month i would suggest. Now i am also here to give you sound advice from years and 100s of trails and Years outdoor experience i have not only from me but i am sure some of my viewers will have good advice for you. But the end the day your responsible for your own safety so make sure you done good research and correct gear lets give the mountain rescue some time to relax a little.
Your hear alot people moaning about how busy it is well i beg to differ on whingeing. I beleave in access for all that includes people that maybe not fitness addicts and also access for people with disabilities such as wheelchair access. Which i think this mountain has correct me if i am wrong but is possible for some one in a wheelchair to access the train that a lot people whinge about? if it can that is fantastic but not only that how about a a path along side the train track that wheelchairs can use now there is a idea? I think its great Snowdon is busy and if is peace your after there a lot other mountains in Wales us able-bodied are lucky enough to goto.
Snowdon is the busiest mountain in the United Kingdom 582,000 people visiting annually.
The summit can be reached by a number of paths, and by the Snowdon Mountain Railway, a rack railway opened in 1896 which carries passengers the 4.7 miles (7.6 km) from Llanberis to the summit station. The summit also houses a cafe called Hafod Eryri, open only when the railway is operating; it opened in 2009 to replace one built in the 1930s. The railway generally operates to the summit station
The mountain was used by Edmund Hillary in training for the 1953 ascent of Mount Everest.
