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.

Notes

6th Nov 2024: Water problem fixed and running again.


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.

Location

Situated on the south side of the A4086 Llanberis Pass road about 1.5 miles beyond Pen-y-Pass. It is almost directly below Carreg Wastad and is the first building on the left as you descend the pass.
