Snowdon Mountain Railway / Rheilffordd yr Wyddfa

Snowdon Mountain Railway / Rheilffordd yr Wyddfa Climbing Yr Wyddfa since 1896, Snowdon Mountain Railway is Britain’s only public rack-and-pinion railway.
(2426)

In 2026, our 130th anniversary year, we’re proud to keep sharing breathtaking views, rich history and summit memories with every generation. Take a once in a lifetime adventure on the Snowdon Mountain Railway which has been described as one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world. Trains depart from Llanberis Station and begin their climb to the summit of Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa, a journey experienced by millions of travellers since 1896. With stunning scenery and awe-inspiring views it’s all part of a great day out for you and your family in North Wales. Two services are available, the Heritage Steam Experience and the Traditional Diesel Service. Pre-booking is highly recommended as we do sell out during school holidays and spells of fine weather. Snowdon Mountain Railway is a seasonal attraction open mid-March to the end of October (weather permitting).

Misty mornings, atmospheric views and a quieter Yr Wyddfa🍂

October is a great time to make the journey, when the mountain is generally quieter and the landscape takes on a different character.

On Friday we caught up with firefighter Matt at the summit to hear all about the incredible challenges he’s completed (in full fire kit!) to raise money for Sands 🚒

Matt has taken on the Three Peaks Challenge, a 7.2-mile hike along the Devon coast path and even a 72oz steak challenge, all in support of an incredibly important cause.

If you’d like to support Matt and his fundraising for Sands, you can donate via the link in below.
