Fodor's Expert Review Llanberis Pass

The town of Llanberis stands beside twin lakes at the foot of the rocky Llanberis Pass, which cuts through the highest mountains in the park and is lined with slabs popular with rock climbers. There are trails from the top of the pass, but the going can be rough for the inexperienced. Ask for local advice before starting any hike. The Snowdon Sherpa serves this area, and there is a parking lot and café at Pen-Y-Pass.
