Overview

Starting at the little village of Croesor ascending the long ridge of Cnicht with its distinctive pointed shape. There is a short avoidable scramble near the summit. You will be rewarded with one of the finest 360 degree panoramic views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the coastline. The descent is via the Bulch Y Rhosydd quarry and Llyn Croesor before joining the Slate Trail to return to the start.
