Which Route?

Following the A5 from Betws y Coed heading towards Capel Curig, just before Pont Cyfyng there is a car park.

Taking a left into Pont Cyfyng, a footpath is marked to your right. This leads past a dissused quarry towards the mountain.

The ascent can be made via the north but more enjoyable is the route which leads to a longer ascent around from the south, past the old mine works and lakes.

This path is quite straight forward until just below the summit where a scramble over bolders is required to reach the summit.

On a clear day the view is excellent, immediately below, Dolwyddelan Castle can be seen and beyond is Trawsfynydd reservoir.

A simple descent can be made down the gradual north flank of Moel Siabod. picking up the path back to Pont Cyfyng.
