Cnicht is a mountain in Snowdonia which forms part of the Moelwynion mountain range. Its appearance when viewed from the south-west, i.e. from the direction of Porthmadog, has earned it the sobriquet the “Matterhorn of Wales”. At 689m, this little peak is dwarfed somewhat by its neighbours to the north but for me it has something of an iconic status and is a great introduction to scrambling for a great many people. Most people start the ascent to Cnicht at the quiet and slightly isolated Snowdonia village of Croesor.

This iconic mountain range comprises 3 peaks, Tre'r Ceiri (485m), Garn Ganol (564m) and Garn For (444m). Along with a strong cultural resonance, Yr Eifl excites special interest due to its plant life and birds. On the third summit of Yr Eifl, stands the ancient hill fort of Tre'r Ceiri, meaning 'Town of the Giants.'
