Ogwen Visitor Centre and Snack Bar

Highlight • Parking

The visitor centre is located on the A5, approximately 5 miles south of Bethesda and approximately 4 miles west of Capel Curig, on the western side of Llyn Ogwen.
There are a number of facilities including toilets, disabled toilets, an information room, public wifi and a small kiosk selling hot and cold snacks.
From the visitor centre you can start a range of walks and climbs in the area. The most popular is the walk to Wales' first ever national nature reserve, the beautiful Cwm Idwal, a glacial lake with a mountainous backdrop.

Cwm Idwal

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful lake with stunning views to Tryfan and Pen Yr Ole Wen. There is a circular walk from the visitors centre which takes you around the lake or you can use this as a starting point for the mountains above.

Bwlch Tryfan (Tryfan Pass)

Highlight • Trail

Bwlch Tryfan is the pass between two of Wales' finest mountains: Tryfan and Glyder Fach. A number of trails meet here and the adventures it gives access to are wonderful.

The South Ridge scramble to Tryfan's airy summit begins here which, as an easy grade one scramble, is the easiest way up the mountain. Head south for Bristly Ridge, a much trickier grade one scramble that leads straight up to Glyder Fach's moonscape summit.
