B E W A R E ....................... !!!
Car Parking near Snowdon is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found
The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the
Snowdon Sherpa Bus network
It is possible to climb Tryfan or Snowdon from Bethesda
on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays during the Summer ONLY
(by Sherpa to the start of most of the tracks)
If you plan to go up and/or down the Llanberis, PYG, Miners or Watkin paths
then ask the driver of your first bus for a £6.80 Red Rover Day ticket
LATEST..........
So far, no official announcement has been made regarding Sherpa services
for Summer 2020
However, based on the fact Gwynfor has a five-year contract with both Conwy CC
and Gwynedd CC, it s reasonable to assume the number of "S2" journeys will again be "doubled"
from winter 2019-2020
The timings for the extra "S2" summer journeys below ASSUME there are no
changes from 2019 and the times for connecting "S4" journeys to and from Beddgelert reflect
the current revised timetable which was amended in November 2019 to take into account diversions due
to work in connection with the 'new' Caernarfon by-pass
It is still unclear if the new late afternoon "S4" Sherepa
(from November 2019) will continue to operate to and from Llanberis Interchange
(depart 1705)..........
..........OR if it will again terminate short at Pen-y-Pass before providing a
later journey from there back to Porthmadog (last year it departed at 1810 after connecting
off the 1730 'all-year-round' "S2" Sherpa from Betws-y-Coed and the 'summer only' 1750 "S2"
Sherpa from Llanberis)..........
..........at this stage the EARLIER times are shown on this page (see below)
but will be updated as and when any confirmation is made public - based on previous years this
may be only a few days before the summer service actually starts !!!!!
At this stage, the information below should be treated as
"the likely level of service to expect" - but it should be sufficiently accurate to help you
make PROVISIONAL plans for your visit
You are strongly advised to re-visit this page nearer the time to
see if there have been any further changes for Summer 2020, both to the Sherpa timetables and
also any connecting journeys
|
Please bookmark and re-visit this page nearer the time to check if there have been any further changes

Why not go up one track and return down another ?
Remember - if the weather is bad or you find the going is too hard - turn back
