Could you climb 1085m above sea level with just a pair of binoculars as your equipment? Absolutely! Simply step aboard The Snowdon Mountain Railway – a journey like no other. Since 1896 heritage locomotives have been making this one-of-a-kind journey from the traditional mining village of Llanberis to the summit of Wales’ highest and most unforgiving peak. This year marks 130 years of rail passengers discovering the legendary mountain’s hidden secrets – from waterfalls and gorges to medieval settlements. You won’t want to disembark!

If the awe-inspiring cliff edges of Snowdon sound a little too steep, then consider another of Wales’ most iconic summits. Peaking at just 206m, Llandudno’s Great Orme still boasts incredible views all the way to the Isle of Man! Lovingly restored tramcars have been carrying contented passengers through this peaceful Country Park and Nature Reserve to the spectacular summit since 1902. As Britain’s only funicular, or cable-hauled, tramway that travels on public roads, it’s a truly unique way to see the incredible scenery of this famously dramatic headland.
