If you are moderately fit, climbing Snowdon is definitely within your reach. Snowdon is probably the friendliest of the mountains in Wales as there is a cafe at the top in the summer months (note: Cafe only open when the trains are running). If you don't want to walk, trains (steam and diesel) run from mid May to the end of October. There are six main routes to the summit:  Watkin Path, Llanberis Path, Pyg Track, Miners' Track, Snowdon Ranger Path and the Beddegelert Path/Rhyd Ddu​

Times and length of walks up Mount Snowdon You will be spending about 6 hours or more walking up and down Snowdon, and depending on the path you follow, will be covering between 7 and 10 miles. The Watkins path is the hardest, as on this route you will also be ascending 3,300 ft of the total 3,560 ft of the mass of Snowdon - starting only a couple of hundred feet above sea level. The Pyg and Miners tracks for comparison, start at 1,170 ft up, so although they are of similar length to the Watkins path, are less strenuous overall (although they also do have very steep parts).
