Linking up the Carneddau chain

North Wales‘ second highest mountain range is home to a clutch of secretive, remote ridges – and the two that take centre stage in this stunning route rank among the best in Snowdonia National Park. Starting with the stunning, sustained Llech Ddu spur, the route swings across Carnedd Llewelyn and Carnedd Dafydd to descend the tuckedaway north-east ridge of Yr Elen.
