Carnedd y Filiast

Carnedd y Filiast is a summit in Gwynedd, Wales, that rises to 669 meters and features rocky ground with several stone cairns built from stacked slabs. The peak sits within the broader Snowdonia massif, offering views across the surrounding ridges and valleys.

The mountain carries a Welsh name rooted in descriptions of physical features or the local landscape. The area has served walkers and climbers for generations as part of traditional mountain routes through the region.

This peak forms part of several mountaineering lists including the Marilyns, Nuttalls, Hewitts, and Welsh Mountains above 2000 feet collections.

Proper footwear and weather preparation are essential, as the elevation creates exposed conditions on the ridge. Several walking routes lead to the top, with some paths crossing nearby ridges before reaching the summit.

On clear days, visitors can spot the Isle of Man and the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland from the summit, despite their distance of hundreds of kilometers. These far-reaching sight lines make the peak a notable vantage point for distant views.
