An original route that omits the Sugar Loaf, along with the out-and-back nature of the Classic ride. You still get one mountain and a joy ride across the coal tips, though. |

| 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. |
