The Watkin Path – Climb Snowdon

The Watkin Path: Climb Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) with Wellbeing Walks

Standing proudly as Wales’ highest peak, Yr Wyddfa is an amazing mountain to climb. While there are several well-trodden routes to its summit, this one is often overlooked. It is however, incredibly rewarding with breathtaking scenery.

Starting near the pretty village of Beddgelert, the Watkin Path is Yr Wyddfa’s most challenging route in terms of elevation gain from its starting point. Don’t let that deter you; it’s precisely this characteristic that makes it such a satisfying climb. The path starts off gently, winding through ancient woodland alongside the Afon (River) Glaslyn.  This initial section provides a warm-up and a chance to soak in the beauty of the valley floor.

As you progress, the path gradually steepens, leading you past the remains of the old Sygun Copper Mine. This historical mine is a glimpse into Snowdonia’s industrial past and offers a unique point of interest along your journey.

The real ascent begins as you leave the lower sections and enter the impressive Cwm Llan. Here, the path becomes more rugged, with scree slopes and rocky sections that demand sure-footedness and a good level of fitness. But with every upward step, the views expand, revealing the vastness of the surrounding landscapes. On a clear day, you’ll be treated to panoramic views that stretch for miles.

One of the most appealing aspects of the Watkin Path is its dramatic final approach. The path weaves its way up the southern flank of Snowdon, eventually joining the Pyg Track and Miners Track for the final push to the summit. This merging of paths adds a sense of camaraderie as you join fellow hikers in the shared pursuit of reaching the top. The feeling of accomplishment as you stand on Snowdon’s summit, having conquered the significant ascent of the Watkin Path, is truly unparalleled.

So, why not join us and choose the Watkin Path for your Snowdon adventure? If you’re looking for a demanding yet achievable route that will test your endurance and reward your efforts, this is it. From woodlands to dramatic mountainscapes, the Watkin Path offers an incredibly diverse and picturesque journey. While the summit can be busy, the lower sections of the Watkin Path often feel less congested than some of the more popular routes, offering a more tranquil experience.

You will be with trained leaders who will ensure you have the appropriate kit and will make sure you get up and down safely while having an amazing time.
