YNYS ETTWS
Stunningly located in the heart of the Llanberis Pass and surrounded on all sides by Eryri's most spectacular mountains, Ynys Ettws is possibly the best-situated hut in Britain. After a ground-up refurbishment in 2023-4 this truly is a state of the art base for exploring Eryri, whilst all the major crags of the Llanberis Pass are within walking distance.

Wheelie Bin: Please ensure that the chain is tightly closed or the bin will be filled by members of the public & we will be fined for the recyclable waste left in it. Padlock number is 3691 & remember to push the button too!
Hut slippers: it's a good idea to bring a pair of soft shoes for inside the hut. There's plenty of shoe racks and it will keep the level of dirt on the floor down.
Water Supply: Please be aware that the water is from a private borehole.
