9 Start Rhyd-Ddu Distance 5.8km Ascent 900m

Difficulty Easy

This route has one big plus: it takes you on a high traverse around the edge of Cwm Clogwyn, the huge western corrie beneath

Snowdon’s summit pyramid. The craggy rim of Llechlog is a particular highlight, and the path’s steady ascent has made it popular with mountain bikers.

Best for walkers who enjoy a sense of exposure but aren’t keen on scrambling.
