Camping in Llanberis

Llanberis Path

Climbs steadily to Snowdon's summit via the easiest and most popular route, following the mountain railway for much of the way. The sustained ascent (around 1,000m over 9km) is manageable but long—suitable for fit families with older children, though definitely not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome but must be controlled around trains and other walkers. Worth it for the achievable challenge and spectacular panoramic views from Wales' highest peak, plus the satisfaction of saying you've done Snowdon.

Snowdon Ranger Path

Climbs steadily from Llyn Cwellyn to Snowdon's summit via grassy slopes and rocky scrambles – one of Wales' classic but less-crowded ascents. Expect a sustained, steep gradient throughout, with rough terrain higher up requiring proper boots and fitness. Not suitable for young children, buggies, or inexperienced walkers. Dogs allowed but must be capable of scrambling over boulders near the top. The reward: spectacular views across Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula, plus genuine mountain achievement

Cwm Idwal Walk, Carneddau

Circles Cwm Idwal's glacial lake on well-maintained paths with a mix of flat lakeside sections and a moderately steep scramble up the Devil's Kitchen section – rocky terrain underfoot. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to uneven surfaces and elevation gain, but confident older kids will manage. Dogs welcome on leads (sheep grazing area). The dramatic mountain scenery, hanging valley views, and fascinating geology make this a Snowdonia classic.
