FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS in 2010 and 2011
During 2012 (at least until the end of March),
there is a flat fare of just £1 for any single journey on
any
Padarn "S2" and "S6*" / "X6*" Sherpa service
(* - between Bethesda and BetwsyCoed only)
and two accompanied children can also travel free with each adult !
|
 |
This offer does NOT apply to other
operator's Sherpa services
(nor Sherpa services "S4" or "S97")
so look out for the RED buses
on the east side of Snowdon !

B E W A R E ....................... !!!
Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found
The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the
Snowdon Sherpa Bus network
TICKETS/FARES...............
Single (also return tickets for most journeys) are available on all Shrepa services, however......
it is much cheaper to take advantage of the various day "Rover" tickets
- these provide far more flexibility as walkers/tourists in Snowdonia can
"change the mind" or drop off at any point and join a later "Sherpa"
just purchase your ticket from the driver of your first bus
and ensure you are given the appropriate cover for it
At the bottom of each page is an index which includes "suggested" days out by
the Sherpas - each page advises the most appropriate
(rover) ticket - in some cases all day from as little as £4 for a
"Snowdon Sherpa" day
ticket
BEWARE - this particular promotion may be withdrawn in 2012
- if so, then obtain a Red Rover instead - see below
or £5.40 for a
"Red
Rover" - this not only includes the direct link between Caernarfon and Llanberis enabling you to travel
right round Snowdon
but it is also valid for travel to and from the "Sherpa network" from
anywhere in Gwynedd (including Anglesey and Llandudno)
or if travelling from further afield the combined Zonal
"North Wales
Day Rover" (main-line rail and bus) will usually be your most economical travel ticket to and around Snowdonia
ALL drivers of all companies can of course issue the
"£5.40 RED Rover
Tickets"
(which are also valid on all buses within the Gwynedd area
(including those which connect into and out of the Sherpa network
from as far as Llandudno and Anglesey)
If you initially book on an Arriva bus, MAKE SURE
you do NOT simply ask for a "day" ticket
or you may accidentally be sold a £6.50 "Arriva" day ticket
(which is vaild on any Arriva journey in North Wales
BUT IS NOT VALID on any other operators Sherpa services)
| *** Look out for further special offers *** |
but note from time to time some special offers are either withdrawn completely
or suspended durning certain periods
ALL prices shown above are the latest advised to me - if you are aware of any changes please
email me so the
information can be updated for the benefit of other visitors to this website --- thank you |
This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is still available
and to encourage greater use of the "Snowdon Sherpa network" includes some suggested
"trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
