Sherpa buses
There is a network of bus routes known as the Snowdon Sherpa around the Snowdon group of peaks. This includes a route from Caernarfon through Beddgelert and up the Nantgwynant valley past the campsite to Pen-y-Pass. The buses will stop and pickup from the main A498 road near the campsite entrance on request. You can use the bus to get up the hill to Pen-y-Pass for a walk up Snowdon via the PYG or Miners track (thus saving the parking fee at Pen-y-Pass) or to pick you up at the end of a walk from Nantgwynant up Snowdon and down to Llanberis or Rhyd Ddu.You can find the routes and timetables for the local buses (Snowdon Sherpa) at
