The classic postcard view of the Snowdon Horseshoe is from the twin lakes of Llynnau Mymbyr at Capel Curig, which mirror the whole ridge when the water is calm. The lakes sit beside Plas y Brenin, the national mountaineering centre, with a car park and café nearby. Open access from the roadside on the A4086.
