Start from the small town of Beddgelert, heading along the A498 until you see a footpath on the left hand side of the road.
Follow the path and pick up the track heading uphill to Craig Wen.
Head Northeast from the summit of Craig Wen to Yr Aran.
From Yr Aran, head along the Clogwyn Du ridge and join the masses of daytrippers at Snowdon summit. There is due to be a new cafe opening here, hopefully nicer than the last one.
From the summit, avoid the overcrowded Llanberis path and take the Snowdon Ranger path down. At this grid reference, take the path heading north past Foel Goch (otherwise you have a long walk round to Llanberis!)
The path heads north across open land before reaching the farmland outside Llanberis, where you can choose your own route amongst the many paths. No trip to Llanberis is complete without a stop at Pete's Eats, the legendary climber's cafe (where they serve tea in pints!)
