Home » destinations » Europe » Wales » Ramblers The Wonders of Snowdonia
This 7-day walking holiday will take you over hills and through valleys and forests along the Snowdonia Slate trail. You will visit some of the less frequented parts of Snowdonia’s mountains, whilst learning about the North Wales slate industry history along the way.
Day 1: Arrival Day
Independent travel to the Royal Victoria Hotel in Llanberis, North Wales. Check in is available from 3pm. Meet your tour leader at approximately 6.30pm in the hotel for a briefing before dinner. All evening meals are taken in the hotel restaurant.
Day 2: Bethesda to Llanberis
This walk is very varied as the route takes us through wild, high moorland and then down through beautiful rare indigenous forest. We shall have the opportunity to visit the hospital built for the slate quarry men, now preserved as a museum, as well as time to visit the National Slate Museum.
Day 3: Nantlle to Rhyd Du
This walk follows a very pretty route alongside Lake Nantlle and then into hills for a picture postcard view down into a classic U-shaped valley. We will have the opportunity to have a drink in a country pub before meeting our transportation in Rhyd Ddu. You will then be given the choice of walking from Rhyd Ddu into Beddgelert, being transported there in the vehicles or you can choose to take the Welsh Highland Light Railway from Rhyd Ddu to Beddgelert (additional cost). The possible extension adds a further 5 miles, additional 115m of ascent and 255m of descent.
Day 4: Beddgelert to Croesor
This is one of the highlight walks of the holiday. The popular route along the Glaslyn River through forest is very picturesque whilst the route from Nantmor to Croesor offers far-reaching views in a corner of Snowdonia with few people. On a clear day this walk offers very good views of Cnicht, the mountain which is referred to locally as ‘The Matterhorn of Snowdonia’.
Day 5: Croesor to Tanygrisiau
This is a spectacular walk in the high mountain scenery with photogenic views of a number of disused slate quarries and mountain waterfalls.
Day 6: Bethesda to Ogwen Cottage and onto Capel Curig
This is another highlight walk offering dramatic views along the valleys with waterfalls cascading from the mountains above. The force of the river at Ogwen Cottage after rain is breathtaking.
Day 7: Departure Day
Independent departure from the hotel after breakfast. Check out is by 11am. We hope you have enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you on another soon.
