Climbing Mount Snowdon is quite arduous even via the Llanberis route, but it is definitely achievable if you are reasonably fit. Some parts are extremely steep but it eventually evens out. The last bit to the summit is quite steep and has steps and lots of loose stones. It gets quite crowded with some people trying to come up and others down! Everyone is friendly en route and there is a lovely atmosphere. There are plenty of rocks to have a rest on. Sheep are plentiful too. Reaching the summit is absolutely fantastic as the views are stunning. If the weather is ok the views and colours are simply incredible and worth every moment of the climb. The cafe at the top is always crowded but you can buy hot drinks and sandwiches etc. 100% worth doing for the experience and the memorable photo opportunities.

Had the most amazing climb with Tom our guide, really easy to get on with, had a laugh and gave us motivation when the going got a bit tougher. Was filled with lots of facts up and down and he took plenty of pictures, sent later to us. My 2 kids enjoyed it throughly especially reaching the summit. We even dipped our feet in the lake afterwards. Mixed weather going up but cleared once up top. My boy got his wish of tasting clouds( apparently bubble gum candy floss was the conclusion lol). Would so recommend Tom and his colleagues we done whole trip in 5.5 hours, with half hour in cafe.

Really enjoyed joining a guided hike for my first Snowdon climb. Our guide Tom was very informative and helpful and it was fun to join a friendly group. Would definitely recommend!

Andy is a very knowledgeable,friendly guy. He took our party of 6 up the rangers path and descended along the cliff edge for dramatic, beautiful vistas. We have already recommended this tour and Andy personally to our friends.

Strenuous, not too tough 862985981 We hiked to the top using the car park at Llanberis as a base. From here, it is pretty much a straight climb - initially on a tarred road, and then, through the rough mountain trails. At one point, roughly half-way to the top, there is a lovely little cafe that serves - you guessed it - coffee, soup, and some snacks; after that, the climb does become a little strenuous as we climb on cobblestones at a slightly steeper angle. Once past that, I chose to climb the rest of the way by following the tracks of the mountain railway all the way to the top. Nearer the top, it became chilly and a little windy too. On the way down, I chose a little easier path by simply following the railway track to the point just before the cafe comes up; here on, I stepped gingerly down the grassy hill to join the original trail and descended all the way to the bottom. The road up has many other alternatives - and it can take up to 2.5-4 hours depending on one's fitness levels. The path down takes a shorter time, naturally. However, be prepared for hurting toes - something I had - because although I was wearing a fairly good pair of hiking shoes, I have to choose still better footwear for the next attempt!

Amazing guided walk with Andrew. It was my first time up the mountain and I am a solo traveller so was a bit nervous doing it on my own. I am so glad I decided to go with the guided tour. Met great people and made even greater memories.

I climbed mount snowden today, the miners path was my chosen route, the scenery was breathtaking, passing very close to some beautiful lakes, the summit was amazing, would definitely recommend doing this.

We took the train to clogwyn then walked to the summit and back down to the bottom, this was quite enough for us as we both have leg complaints. We had made the right decision when we saw the climb from the other direction, we would not have made it. Unfortunately it was cloudy at the summit but we still had amazing views from various points enroute.

As always a great trip. Despite the unexpected weather conditions Andy adapted the route to ensure a safe ascent and we were treated to magnificent views and clean crisp white snow. Andy as usual kept the conversation and banter going the whole time, and is a mine of knowledge about the area. An enjoyable and memorable first time up Snowdon and I am already planning my next trip
