| Start/Finish Lakeside car park,
Llanberis, GR580601
Total distance 18.5km (11.5 miles)
Total ascent 1085m (3560 feet)
Time 4-6 hours
Map Outdoor Leisure (1:25,000) 17
Summary With 1000m of climbing in one hit, a challenging descent and high-speed singletrack the summit loop’s a real classic.
From the Lakeside car park in Llanberis, head south on the main road past the bottom of the High Street to a mini-roundabout.
Turn right past the Snowdon Mountain Railway station and climb on Tarmac. At the top of the steepest stretch of Tarmac, go through the gate signposted Snowdon summit and climb on rocky track. Continue up on mostly-rideable trail, crossing under the railway.
Just over 4km in you’ll pass the Halfway House cafe. Continue to climb over increasingly difficult ground. The track swings left and up towards Clogwyn station and will involve walking.
Cross under the railway again, before setting off on another steep pitch. The gradient eases as you gain the ridge, leading to a great bit of high-level climbing.
Note the position of the marker stone at the junction of the Llanberis path, the path along Crib Goch and Ranger path (GR608549), you’ll need to spot this on the way back down. If you’re in a hurry or the trail is busy, join the Ranger path now, otherwise continue to the summit.
Descend from the summit, turn left at the marker stone, crossing the railway at a second marker stone. Head slightly west of north down the Ranger path.
Follow the cairns on the upper section and obvious path lower down, tackling boulders, steep turns and rocky sections. The hardest part is towards the bottom, after which the trail levels out to cross sometimes-boggy terrain.
Look for bridleway fingerpost pointing right at GR573553. Push north up the grassy slopes before pedalling up to gain the saddle at the head of Telegraph Valley.
Follow the obvious fast trail towards Llanberis, joining farm track.
Turn right onto Tarmac at GR573590 to drop back into town. |

(5.2 miles)

Time 1-2 hours
Maps Outdoor Leisure (1:25,000) 17
Route summary An open loop across the southern flank of Snowdon followed by a climb into Beddgelert Forest and a fast descent to finish.
Start at Rhyd Ddu station car park. Ride to northern end and cross railway at a level crossing. Climb for 1.4km on well-surfaced track curving right, then swinging left and getting steeper and looser. Continue on track as it bears right to a gate just below large rock outcrops.
Pass through a gate to a junction with Rhyd Ddu path to the left (signed Snowdon) and bridleway to the right. Take right turn and descend across sometimes boggy grassland with potentially slippery bridges. At the edge of a patch of woodland drop to a farmyard.
Go through yard and down a track to the road. Turn left after 500m then right into Beddgelert Forest. Cross railway and climb on forest road, following bridleway markers – keep right at posts 45 and 44, bear left at 43. After 2km arrive at junction of trails at GR557513.
Turn right onto singletrack to climb through trees, which may be boggy higher up. Emerge onto open ground. Descend on grassy bridleway, marked by cairns higher up but becoming more distinct lower down.
At trail junctions go straight on to reach minor road. Turn right, drop down to main road in Rhyd Ddu village. Turn right again, then look for bridleway sign to the left that returns to the station car park. Don’t worry if you miss it, you’ll be at the main car park entrance shortly. |

| This route is a difficult Downhill run from the top of Snowdon, right down to the station / cafe in Llanberis. This is only rideable between September and May, or after 5pm in the Summer. For an easier option ride from the 1/2 way cafe to the town. The top half is technical, steep and rocky. Ride at the quietest times possible, a very fast track if there aren't too many walkers. |
