Snowdon Mountain Railway, Wales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With a choice of traditional diesel or the more leisurely heritage steam, this is the route that allows non-climbers and hikers the opportunity to bag Wales\u2019 highest peak. A unique experience, offering stunning views and all of the breadth of landscape that a breathless walker may not be able to appreciate, the route only runs in the spring and summer months. Be aware that, at the top, you get a certificate congratulating you on reaching the summit: hide it from the exhausted climbers, who get exactly the same one for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/04\/10.-Snowdon-Mountain-Railway-Wales-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14796\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/04\/10.-Snowdon-Mountain-Railway-Wales-.jpg\" alt=\"10.
