Foggy but exhilarating

I ran up Snaefell, stopped for a bit on the top where it was extremely windy and then headed back down on the mountain tram way. All around good experience but the restaurant at the top had slow moving queues so I decided not to...More

A bit of a climb from the road but so worthwhile

The path up from the road is well worn so you won't get lost. the views are stunning and the observation point has many points to look for. A must do, if you cannot walk up then take the train.

A pleasant ride

Extensive views from the summit (on a clear day). You’ll need to take a short walk from the station to reach the high point. The cafe is nothing special, but is a refuge from the cold wind.

Sunset supper!

The tram to the top is a lot of fun. The supper was good. Enjoyed the food and service was great. Views were rubbish! Scenic fog! But that can’t be helped. I’d still do it again!! And maybe we’d be luckier with the weather!

Exhausting climb but I did it

Visiting family in IOM my eldest son decided a climb up Snaefell would be good. Being almost 62 and not the fittest of people I went ahead. Had to stop a few times to get my breath and give my shin muscles a rest (Yes...More
