Snowdon, mountain group in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. It is broken by valleys into five minor groups, whose chief peak, Y Wyddfa (1,085 m/3,560 ft above sea level), is the highest mountain in Wales. A rack-and-pinion railway was constructed to the summit in 1895. The region is part of Snowdonia National Park.
