700 267 Eira ar Yr Wyddfa - Snow on Snowdon.

Welcome to the official website for the Snowdonia Mountains and Coast region. The biggest, boldest mountains in Wales and England are to be found here in the Snowdonia National Park. There’s also a long coastline of sandy beaches, spectacular cliffs and glorious estuaries, which along the Llŷn Peninsula is a protected ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

New Year in the Mountains

Snowdonia can be a dangerous place to walk, especially in winter when, as now, snow and ice affect many of the mountain paths. The Snowdonia National Park website has tips on mountain safety, the weather forecast and mountain conditions. Remember, if you are in any doubt – do not set off. The mountains are there for another day.

MountainSafe is a joint campaign between several organisations including North Wales Police, Snowdonia National Park and North Wales Mountain Rescue Association that is aimed at keeping people safe on the region's mountains.

So it’s wrong to think of Snowdonia exclusively in terms of those high peaks or the dated image of rough-and-ready climbers... and rough-and-ready bunkhouses.  Those times are long gone. The Snowdonia of today is just as likely to welcome aficionados of good food and fine art as lovers of the Great Outdoors. There’s a big, wide welcome for all – adrenaline addicts wanting world-class mountain biking trails, families in search of that perfect beach, couples on a weekend away in a ‘boutique’ hotel, foodies after cuisine that’s fresh, contemporary and full of goodness. Ancient castles, a rich culture and cool new travel experiences are all part of the Snowdonia mix.
