How close can I park to Mount Snowdon

[Mondeo Man]

This week I am going to drive to Snowdon (6hrs). Cycle up it (2hrs). Cycle down (5 minutes). Then drive home (6 hrs).

Not really sure why, but hey ho.

Where is the best place to park closest to the 'tourist path'?

Regards.

Drive up it in a vauxhall frontera like that guy did other month . You can park on it then

you mean the llanberis path.

You can park at Llyn Padarn i think.

But i used to park alongside a row of houses before the llanberis route starts up the road hill. Some terrace houses on the left. But i have a feeling that these may be permit only now. Used to park there at ridiculous times when doing 3 peaks.

CYcling would be fun, pretty technical id imagine. Would defiently like to do that some day. Enjoy!

I always started from Pen-Y-Pas

I walked up it a few weeks back, completely up prepared, in trainers and jeans... Ended up taking the Crib Goch route up in bad conditions, on a few occasions I genuinely feared for my life!

You can park right at the bottom but be shore you know which way you're coming down as you can end up miles from your car but that's less of a worry as you on a push bike!

What routes are you using?

Pen Y Pas isn't really much good for cycling up, the two routes up from there are The Pyg and the Miner's.
The Pyg has a lot of big boulders, and the Miner's is fine to start with but is interrupted by a scramble.

The Watkins route from Betws is ok, until you get near the summit where there's a scramble.

So I'm going to assume the Llanberis route following the train tracks. In which case, you need to in Llanberis town on the Dolbadarn. Think it's about £5 for the day. Sorted

What they all said

I went up it a few months ago as part of the 3 peaks challenge. I couldnt imagine it being too easy to ride a bike up, towards the top it all really becomes a bit of a scramble/train dodge

I trekked up the Miners, no chance you are getting a bicycle up Snowdon that way. Gotta be Llanberis.

I was under the impression that bikes are only allowed up during certain hours / months?
