About the trail

Walk Snowdonia and Snowdon on a self-guided holiday.

Based on the excellent Snowdonia Slate Trail, the Snowdon Round has been developed by Contours Holidays to give keen walkers the chance to explore the incredible scenery of the Snowdonia National Park in Wales, also known as Eryri. The trail features an exhilarating mixture of terrain – including imposing mountains, expansive lakes and colourful woodlands – with impressive and ever-changing views across the diverse Welsh landscape from start to finish.

The standard Snowdon Round route skirts around the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, officially renamed Yr Wyddfa, while those with a real taste for adventure can opt for the Mountain Route and conquer the summit!

We have partnered with the Snowdonia Slate Trail Trust so that when you book a Contours Holiday along the Snowdon Round, 50% of the cost of your guidebook is given back to fund the maintenance of this spectacular route.

Snowdon Round

The Snowdon Round sets off from the peaceful village of Llanberis and covers 56 miles on a circuit of Snowdonia National Park, now known as Eryri. Although this option is the more low-level of the two Snowdon Round routes we offer, avoiding the more demanding climbs found on the mountain route, this walk still delivers plenty of engaging variety as it crosses high moorlands and broad glacial valleys, rewarding walkers along the way with a vast range of amazing, far-reaching views.

As well as the beautiful scenery that the Snowdonia National Park is famed for, the Snowdon Round also visits a selection of wonderful little towns and villages, each with their own unique charm and history to explore, making this a diverse trail filled with new discoveries at every turn.
