Snowdonia Slate Trail Challenge routes

Choose to go for the full 2 day challenge, or sign up for your preferred single day option...

This 83 mile circular trail contains 14250ft of ascent, and takes in some fantastic mountain and valley level scenery, and allows you to explore the industrial heritage of the slate villages throughout Snowdonia.

Upon completion, you’ll go away with a weekend’s worth of great views and memories- plus a SST specific memento.

The route starts at Porth Penrhyn near Bangor and ends at Bethesda and takes in villages such as Llanllechid, Bethesda, Dinorwig, Llanberis, Waunfawr, Nantlle, Rhyd Ddu, Beddgelert, Croesor, Ffestiniog and Penmachno. We'll be guiding you around over the 2 days, with each day being around 40 miles in length - and there'll be the usual checkpoint support and backup provided, as on the rest of our supported challenges.

At the halfway point at the end of Day 1, (Beddgelert) - we can have your tent pitched for you at the campsite at the end of the day, or alternatively you can arrange your own accomodation or other arrangements - and you can join up with us for the start of Day 2!
