SNOWDON - WATKINS PATH

The Watkin Path is one of the toughest routes to the summit of Snowdon with a challenging final ascent but staggering views from the summit. The Watkin Path is considered to be one of the most challenging of the six ‘classic’ routes to the summit of Snowdon. Starting just a few meters above sea level, the route offers the biggest vertical ascent gain to the summit, as well as sections of steep and loose scree making the final approach demanding. That said, the Watkin Path is also thought to be one of the best routes to the summit of Snowdon and certainly a personal favourite of mine. The descent also offers stunning mountain pools to soak sore feet and even have a dip in, if you're feeling brave.

Walking in the splendour of Snowdonia can be truly appreciated from the peaks of its mountains. Challenge yourself to conquer Snowdon or…
