Snowdonia Outdoor is an independent guide to walking and hill-walking in Snowdonia (Eryri), North Wales. The idea is straightforward: clear, practical information for anyone heading into these hills, from first-time Snowdon walkers to people looking for quieter routes away from the crowds.
This domain has a long history. Around 2011 it belonged to a small outfit offering guided hill walks and climbing near Snowdon. The site later lapsed and changed hands, and for a while it drifted into generic walking articles with little connection to the place itself. This is a fresh start that puts Snowdonia back at the centre.
It helps to be clear about what this site is and is not. We are not a guiding company, we run no tours, and we sell nothing on the mountain. Snowdonia Outdoor is a website and nothing more: a place to find honest route notes, kit advice, and seasonal guidance for people who want to enjoy the Welsh hills safely.
How we put our guides together
Every route note starts from public sources. We use the Eryri National Park Authority, the Met Office mountain forecast, Ordnance Survey, the National Trust, the British Mountaineering Council and Adventure Smart Wales.
For getting there we use the Sherpa’r Wyddfa bus and the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Each fact names where it comes from, so you can check it yourself.
The weather on these hills turns fast. Before you set out, check the Met Office mountain forecast and the park authority’s own advice.
Some links go to Amazon UK. When you buy through them we may earn a small commission, and the price you pay stays the same.
