Description
Mountain days with more than a single summit.
Snowdonia, or Eryri, offers many opportunities to link together larger circuits and ridges. The book selects 40 routes across several mountain areas. This provides a different starting point than a guide that only describes the most common path to each mountain, allowing for combined experiences and the discovery of new connections in the landscape through a longer day out.
Classics and lesser-known alternatives.
The selection includes the Snowdon area, Glyderau, Carneddau, Moelwynion, Rhinogydd, Arans, and Cadair Idris. Routes range from moderate to very demanding outings, including some scrambling sections. You can thus choose objectives from several parts of the park and have alternatives if the weather or group experience makes one type of terrain more suitable than another during your stay in the area.
HARVEY maps and sketches for planning.
Map extracts and terrain illustrations by Mark Richards support the route descriptions. They help you understand line choices and connections, providing a visual basis for assessing the route structure. The book serves as both inspiration before a trip and as a practical tool when a specific outing needs to be adapted to the starting point, capacity, and how many hours you wish to spend in the mountains.
For experienced hikers and scramblers.
Steep sections, long distances, and exposed ridges require good judgment. Some routes feature more airy or technical elements than standard trails, and wet ground can increase the challenge. The guide is suitable for readers who can actively use maps and descriptions to choose trips according to skills and current conditions, with the flexibility to change plans if weather or visibility makes another route better.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew from climbers and mountain folk who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
