Your journey begins

Llanberis Station

As your train leaves Llanberis you will be beginning a journey of a lifetime. Outside the Station you will begin the steep incline up the first of the two amazing viaducts crossing Afon Hwch. You will then pass a beautiful waterfall and enter an ancient forest. Beyond the waterfall the train emerges into open, treeless countryside and can give you a first glimpse of the sharp craggy peak of Snowdon.

Hebron

Your journey then takes you to the passing loop in the track at Hebron which is ¼ distance up Snowdon. There is a small ruined Chapel at Hebron which held its last service in the 1950’s. It’s name still lives on, however, in the passing loop at this point in your journey.

Halfway

At Half Way point on the mountain your train will move into the second loop in the track and this is where steam locomotives will take on water. There are three passing points on the mountain in addition to one each at Llanberis and at the Summit. The journey between each loop takes approximately 15 minutes. On very busy days you may see all eight trains passing on the mountain. After this brief stop the train will work its way up to Rocky Valley.
