Ride to the Summit with Snowdon Mountain Railway

A visit to Snowdonia wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the iconic Snowdon Mountain Railway. Operating since 1896, this historic railway offers a comfortable and scenic journey to the summit of Wales’ highest peak — no hiking boots required.

Sit back and enjoy panoramic views as the train climbs through dramatic landscapes, past rugged cliffs, waterfalls and open mountainside. On a clear day, the views from the top stretch as far as Ireland. At the summit, you’ll find Hafod Eryri, the highest visitor centre in Britain — the perfect place to take in the scenery.

Trains depart from Llanberis, a picturesque village just a short drive from the cottage. Pre-booking is essential, especially in the summer months.
