MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
For a family walk to the top.... with youngish kids? Have walked Llanberis path up before, so know thats OK. Would need to start/finish from the same point.
For families, I'd recommend Snowdon Ranger (starting/ending at the Llyn Cwellyn car park). Not as tricky for the kids as, say, the Pyg path.
how young? miners/pyg is nice variation but a bit steeper in places than llanberis.
Got to be Llanberis for the bailout option???
(ie train)
Cryb Goch !!! 😯

kids range from 6-13, and a spaniel!
pyg track from pen-y-pass car park. get the bus up from llanberis.
shortest route up and down
Train 🙂 or Pyg track
pyg track from pen-y-pass car park. get the bus up from llanberis.shortest route up and down
but the least uninteresting
As Highclimber said - bus from llanberis, then the pyg track but to give the kids some variation/interest come back down the Miners track. If its hot you can jump in the lakes to cool off
Pyg track is doable for kids. I can imagine it being a thigh burner though, it's pretty much a staircase from what I remember going down it. Crib goch is often lauded by proper climbers but I thought it was great fun. Can't wait to do it again, don't take the kids up there though.
Bus from Llansberis to PenYPass, walk up PYG, down the Llanberis path back to Llanberis.
£25 each on the train. £18 for kids. 😯
£25? Ouch!
I've only ever ridden up, never walked.
we went a few weeks ago with the wife and kid, when i saw the sign saying all trains was fully booked, i could have jumped for joy. We went up to the halfway cafe on the llanberis path. My lad (5) loved it.
We've done Pyg track up, Llanberis down, kids and Spaniel. Bus ride adds a bit to the day out and getting to walk back into town to a cafe stop is a nice finish.
