They have not reached the summit of the highest mountain in Wales for more than three years, originally due to the COVID-19 pandemic and later due to track upgrades.

Hafod Eryri, the visitor centre at the mountain's summit, is also opening its doors.

The railway service opened for the 2023 season on 1 April but trains have only travelled three quarters of the way to the summit, ending at Clogwyn Station - until today.

More than 1,000 metres of track was relayed as part of the tourist attraction's refurbishment.

Vince Hughes, commercial manager at Snowdon Mountain Railway, said he was "extremely excited" about welcoming walkers and train passengers back to the summit's visitor centre.

"We are looking forward to a busy few months ahead," he added.

The attraction will remain open until the end of October.

The railway runs for 4.7 miles from Llanberis to Yr Wyddfa's summit.

It comes after park authorities agreed last year that Wales' highest mountain will be referred to by its Welsh name, rather than the English equivalent.

Snowdonia National Park Authority voted to use Yr Wyddfa and Eryri rather than Snowdon and Snowdonia.
