  1. THE WORLD’S BEST HIKES WORTH A JOURNEY · 2026 ✦ ✦ N° 22 2026
Tryfan North Ridge

A rocky ridge scramble up Tryfan in the Ogwen Valley, rising above Llyn Ogwen with hands-on Grade 1 climbing for much of the way. The path fades early, so walkers pick their own lines past the Cannon Stone to the Adam and Eve summit stones.

Highlights

  • Cannon Stone
  • Adam and Eve stones
  • Views over Snowdonia

Good to know

  • Grade 1 scramble with exposed sections
  • Rock slippery when wet; check mountain forecast
  • Roadside lay-bys and paid car parks fill early
