The Pyg Track is one of the most searched Snowdon routes on Google, and for good reason. It offers unbeatable panoramic views over Snowdonia's glacial lakes, including Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn. With a relatively short distance and exciting ridges, it’s a favourite for hikers seeking both adventure and accessibility.

How to get there: The Pen-y-Pass car park fills quickly. From Bangor Station, Rapid Ride offers early morning Snowdon taxi services and shuttle options via Llanberis.
