Tageswanderung: Mount Snowdon, der höchste Berg in Wales

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.
