The path has the least amount of steep ascent and the route is very easy to follow. This makes it a great choice for first-timers. The typical average time is around 7 hours to walk up and down Snowdon. This depends on the route, your fitness and the conditions.

Crib Goch is a knife-edge ridge requiring nervous of steel and a good head for heights. The Llanberis Path is the easiest route if you are taking your dog.
