Snowdon from the south In my opinion the approaches to Snowdon from the south are the best way to climb the most popular mountain in Britain. Whether this is the South ridge, the Watkin Path or even the longer approaches from Beddgelert the climb is beautiful…and quiet. 5 Rating: Difficult walk 8.5mi Distance: 8.5 miles / 13.6 km 1080m Elevation: 1080m / 3543ft
Moel Hebog Above Beddgelert is the steep and over powering slopes of Moel Hebog. The unremitting climb is rewarded with superb views across the western coast and north to the Snowdon massif. 5 Rating: Difficult walk 5.5mi Distance: 5.5 miles / 8.8 km 750m Elevation: 750m / 2460ft
A walk from Porthmadog A walk from Portmadog has the lot. Moel-y-Gest is a fine mountain that overlooks the town with excellent views. In addition the coastline to the west is lovely with rocky promontories. The Walk Pothmadog is one of my favourite places to visit in Wales. I prefer this area of coastline on the west to those 3 Rating: Moderate walk 6.5mi Distance: 6.5 miles / 10.4 km 390m Elevation: 390m / 1279ft
The Rhinogs Rough walking in glorious scenery. This is how the Rhinogs are normally described and this walk, which includes Rhinog Fach and the highest mountain in the range Y Llethr, typifies this. 5 Rating: Difficult walk 8mi Distance: 8 miles / 12.8 km 750m Elevation: 750m / 2460ft

Snowdon via Y Lliwedd The southern part of the Snowdon Horseshoe is the least busy part of the mountain. Snowdon via Y Lliwedd is also one, if not the, best approach to the summit. 5 Rating: Difficult walk 8.5mi Distance: 8.5 miles / 13.6 km 1045m Elevation: 1045m / 3428ft
Walk to Dolwyddelan Castle To the south of Betws-y-Coed and the imposing peak of Moel Siabod lies the valley of the Afon Lledyr.

Moel Siabod Moel Siabod stands proud amongst the great mountains of North Wales. Although not making the 3,000 feet magic number there is still a drop of at least 500m (over 1,600 feet ) in all directions. This makes for spectacular views. 5 Rating: Difficult walk 7mi Distance: 7 miles / 11.2 km 745m Elevation: 745m / 2444ft
