The weather is looking dry and clear for our lucky guests this Bank Holiday weekend 🙌🏼 ⛰ ☀️

Ahh this place! A trip to the Ogwen Valley will never disappoint!

Two hour round trip walk up to Crimpiau behind the hostel this afternoon. Stunning views of the Snowdon horseshoe and Ogwen Valley. Our second time this week!

Wonderful day out just a 40 minute drive to Rhosneigr on Anglesey. A walk down the beach, followed by lunch at the wonderful @sandymountwales - what Saturdays are all about! Great views of the snow-capped Carneddau range on the way home too 🏔 @ Rhosneigr

Beautiful mornings walk up behind the hostel. Immediately regretted not taking a flask of coffee with me when I get to the top! Oh well - I’ll do it tomorrow 😊

Not a bad Tuesday evening shooting down the @Zipworld Fforest Coaster! Our guests get 10% discount off any Zip World attraction once booked in with us. Make sure you make it part of your trip up to Snowdonia! 💨

Full house at the hostel this weekend. Our guests enjoying a beer around the fire pit after a day conquering a snowy Snowdon 🏔

Info for anyone heading up there these next few days. Be safe and ensure you're always prepared.

Wonderful afternoon’s trail run up and around (twice!) Llyn Idwal in the Ogwen Valley. 10 mins drive from the hostel and you have these beautiful glacial surroundings with crystal clear waters. The three of us took a hostel flask of coffee (that we hire out with 100% proceeds going to Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue) - and some bagels! 🥯 ☕️ ⛰ @ Cwm Idwal
