This is my favourite route up Snowdon!The South Ridge Route is a quieter, more scenic alternative to the popular paths, with breathtaking views and a sense of adventure, perfect for those, like me, seeking a more peaceful journey to the summit.
Route Overview:
Distance: 7 miles (11 km) round trip
Ascent: 900m
Time: 6-7 hours
Difficulty: HardRoute Description:
We’ll start our adventure from Nant Gwynant or the Rhyd Ddu car park, following the Rhyd Ddu Path before branching onto the quieter South Ridge. As we climb, we’ll enjoy stunning views of Llyn Llydaw, Llyn Glaslyn, and the surrounding valleys. The highlight of the route is Bwlch Main, an exhilarating ridge with sweeping panoramas that leads us to the summit of Snowdon.
⛰️ Highlights:
A peaceful, less-traveled route with breathtaking scenery
The thrill of crossing Bwlch Main before reaching the summit
A rewarding experience with a knowledgeable guide by your side
