And Relax in Style at Curzon Villa or James Court, Llandudno

Embark on an unforgettable journey aboard the Snowdon Mountain Railway, where engineering marvel meets natural splendour. Since 1896, this iconic railway has transported visitors from Llanberis to the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the highest peak in Wales and England, offering panoramic views that captivate the soul.

The Journey: A Climb to the Clouds

Spanning 4.7 miles, the railway ascends from 353 feet at Llanberis to 3,493 feet at the Summit Station, just shy of Snowdon's 3,560-foot peak. Traversing this route, passengers witness a tapestry of landscapes—from verdant valleys to rugged cliffs—culminating in vistas that stretch across the Irish Sea on clear days.

Notable Stops Along the Way:

Hebron Station: Named after a nearby chapel, this stop offers a glimpse into the area's cultural heritage.
Halfway Station: A perfect spot to appreciate the journey's progress and the surrounding beauty.
Clogwyn Station: Perched on an exposed ridge, it provides breathtaking views of the Llanberis Pass.

The ascent and descent each take approximately one hour, with a 30-minute stop at the summit, allowing passengers to explore and soak in the unparalleled scenery.

Accommodation: Comfort Meets Convenience in Llandudno

After a day of exploration, unwind in the charming seaside town of Llandudno, located less than an hour's drive from Llanberis. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group, Llandudno offers accommodations to suit every need.
