LLANBERIS PATH

GRID REF SH609557

This is the railway cutting off the Llanberis descent, which can fill with snow and then freeze. This route is often seen as an easy-to-follow descent in poor conditions in winter – but where it passes above a convex slope, it is very dangerous. There have been fatalities here. A safer option if you find yourself here may be to detour and descend via the Snowdon Ranger Path (seen heading west off the bottom left of this map square), rather than trying to re-find the Llanberis Path.
