    If you enjoy scrambling, have no fear of heights and the weather is fine (and if you are not looking for lonely mountains), the Snowdon Horseshoe is the perfect route. At the information centre at Pen y Pass they will...

    Fairly easy walk up and back Snowden summit. Very scenic. Steep climbs and minor scramble in spots. Busy trail (at least on the day I did it - a clear sunny day in summer).

    Muy bonita ruta
