Llanberis is situated right at the base of Mount Snowdon and attracts hardy walkers and climbers throughout the year. This feature is enhanced by a number of festivals and celebrations all year round, such as the Snowdon Race in July and the Snowdonia Marathon in October. As part of the Snowdonia National Park, Llanberis is surrounded by beautiful scenery, including two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, which are a great attraction for wildlife enthusiasts, walkers and ornithologists alike. If climbing Snowdon sounds too much like hard work, there is always the option provided by the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Alternatively, if you prefer to remain at ground level, Llanberis is well served by a variety of restaurants, pubs and shops.
