Snowdonia National Park, Eryri in Welsh, is like a little slice of the Alps tucked above the rolling moors and hills of North Wales.

Understand

Lakes, castles, waterfalls, and steam railways create a surreal experience right out of Lord of the Rings. Local signs are often in Welsh and many aspects of traditional Welsh life, including food, clothing, and crafts, are still to be found.

The region is very popular for hiking, mountaineering, whitewater kayaking, and other outdoor pursuits. It features Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales at 1,085 m (3,560 feet).
