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.
