Pen-y-Pass is a mountain pass in Snowdonia Gwynedd north-west Wales. It is a popular location from which to walk up Snowdon as three of the popular routes (the Miners Track the Pyg Track and the ascent via Crib Goch) can be started here. Glyder Fawr is also accessible from here.Situated at the high point of the Llanberis Pass at an altitude of 360 metres (1180 ft) the road here was built in the 1830s to allow ore from the mines on Snowdon to be transported to Llanberis.
