Snowdonia National Park Mountain Bike Trails

Description

Snowdonia National Park is a trail-packed mountain bike region in North Wales. It is famous for Wales's highest mountain Mount Snowdon which has some of the best bucket lists MTB trails itself but the wider park which is 823 square miles and has an extensive network of natural trails, trail centres, and bike parks to choose from.

There is a comprehensive selection of the best GPS tracks to choose from (just check the GPS and or Routes Tab on the listing) across different ability levels.

Mount Snowdon

• Worth some focus are the trails on Mount Snowdon itself. With an elevation of 1085 metres (3559 feet), it is the largest peak in the UK outside of Scotland so there is a lot of descent to go after.
• Two of the main MTB routes are The Llanberis Path and the Snowdon Ranger path. They are Black and Double black respectively. In addition there is the Rhyd Ddu trail. It is the most technical of the three.
• All the trails on Mount Snowdon are subject to a voluntary bike ban. This means from 10 am to 5 pm from the beginning of May until the end of September there is no riding. These paths are shared by walkers so for the best ride and to avoid the conflict please respect the ban. To be prepared check out this article here.
