I am planning to hike up Snowdonia sometime in May. There are companies like hfholidays.co.uk that offer accommodations, which appears to be very convenient, but the dates they have to offer might be less convenient for me.
I am wondering what others who have hiked up the mountain have done. I am hoping to not have to rent a car during my trip, but will do so if necessary. Are there good places to stay where I can perhaps get transportation to the trails that lead up there?
Thanks -

To answer that question you need to know which of the six routes you intend to take up.
This website shows the six paths and shows in brief the bus connections which each of the 6 routes has. But yes, easy to do it independently. The Rhyd Dhu path (and I think the Snowdon Ranger path) also have rail connections from Caernarfon, Beddgelert and Porthmadog on the steam hauled Welsh Highland heritage railway.
That looks like good information, I hadn't seen actual trails to the top, so that is quite helpful.

Up by the PYG track from Pen y Pass ,down the " tourist ' path from the summit.
The Crib Coch route is altogether a more serious undertaking but a " top ten" mountain day.
I believe the shuttle bus runs from Llanberis still.
This is up to date details of the Snowdon Sherpa bus. The timetables are currently reduced winter ones, but even so it is a good service. Check back on that site towards Easter for the enhanced summer timetable.

That is good information. I think that I will probably stay in Llanberis, as that appears to be a main hub, to make transportation a bit easier.
