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

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW WINTER
TIMETABLE...............
The 0845 "S2" from BetwsyCoed to PenyPass and Llanberis
will depart later at 0905 (weekdays and Sundays)
(allowing more time for breakfast !)
This will also give a reduced wait at Capel Curig for passengers travelling to ......
Llyn Ogwen (for Tryfan)
or Bethesda
This will also give a reduced wait at PenyPass for passengers travelling to ......
Nant Gwynant (for the Watkin Path to Snowdon)
or Beddgelert (for Sherpa connections to Rhyd Ddu and Caernarfon)

This "unofficial" website attempts to show what is available
and to encourage greater use includes some suggested
"trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
