General presentation
Eryri / Snowdonia
Large mountain massif in Welsh, with glacial lakes, villages, castles and hiking trails around Yr Wyddfa.
Yr Wyddfa, Llyn Idwal and Beddgelert give the most telling landmarks of Eryri / Snowdonia. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, natural spaces, shores and lakes and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is necessary to plan a fairly sustained day. Also to be anticipated: changing mountain weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

World Heritage
Le paysage d’ardoise du nord-ouest du pays de Galles
In north-western Wales, lardian quarries, railways, labour villages and export-oriented ports have been left behind. The mountain landscape appears to be steeped in industry, but it also tells of technical ingenuity and hard work in the Snowdonia valleys.
Summit
Yr Wyddfa
Yr Wyddfa dominates the Côtes de Snowdonia with a light-changing relief, offering the top views crossing valleys and ridges. The climb requires a real rhythm management, then opens up a panorama that changes over the hours.
Lake
Llyn Idwal
Llyn Idwal is a calm mountain water, framed by rocks and steep relief, ideal for a break between two hiking stages. The site gains to be approached slowly, leaving the colors of water and sky to draw the landscape.
Village
Beddgelert
Beddgelert Discover yourself by its shopping streets, facades and daily rhythm, more than just through a monumental street. This village gives a fine reading of local life, with small details of architecture that tell as much as its surrounding panoramas.
