Six [[Roads in the United Kingdom#Classification|primary routes]] serve Snowdonia, the busiest of which is the [[A55 road|A55]], a dual carriageway which runs along the north coast and provides strategic road access to the northern part of the national park. The most important north–south route within the park is the [[A470 road|A470]] running from the A55 south past {{lang|cy|italic=no|Betws-y-Coed}} to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Blaenau Ffestiniog}} to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Dolgellau}}. It exits the park a few miles to the southeast near {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Mallwyd]]}}. From {{lang|cy|italic=no|Dolgellau}}, the [[A494 road|A494]] runs to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Bala}} whilst the [[A487 road|A487]] connects with {{lang|cy|italic=no|Machynlleth}}. The A487 loops around the northwest of the park from {{lang|cy|italic=no|Bangor}} via {{lang|cy|italic=no|Caernarfon}} to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Porthmadog}} before turning in land to meet the A470 east of {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Maentwrog]]}}. The [[A5 road (Great Britain)|A5]] was built as a mail coach road by [[Thomas Telford]] between London and [[Holyhead]]; it enters the park near {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Pentrefoelas]]}} and leaves it near Bethesda. Other A class roads provide more local links; the [[A493 road|A493]] down the Dovey valley from {{lang|cy|italic=no|Machynlleth}} and up the coast to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Tywyn}} then back up the {{lang|cy|italic=no|Mawddach}} valley to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Dolgellau}}, the [[A496 road|A496]] from {{lang|cy|italic=no|Dolgellau}} down the north side of the {{lang|cy|italic=no|Mawddach}} to Barmouth then north up the coast via {{lang|cy|italic=no|Harlech}} to {{lang|cy|italic=no|Maentwrog}}. The [[A4212 road|A4212]] connecting {{lang|cy|italic=no|Bala}} with {{lang|cy|italic=no|Trawsfynydd}} is relatively modern having been laid out in the 1960s in connection with the construction of {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Llyn Celyn]]}}. Three further roads thread their often twisting and narrow way through the northern mountains; [[A4085 road|A4085]] links {{lang|cy|italic=no|Penrhyndeudraeth}} with {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Caernarfon]]}}, the [[A4086 road|A4086]] links {{lang|cy|italic=no|Capel Curig}} with {{lang|cy|italic=no|Caernarfon}} via {{lang|cy|italic=no|Llanberis}} and the [[A498 road|A498]] links {{lang|cy|italic=no|Tremadog}} with the A4086 at {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Pen-y-Gwryd]]}}. Other roads of note include that from {{lang|cy|italic=no|Llanuwchllyn}} up {{lang|cy|italic=no|Cwm Cynllwyd}} to {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Dinas Mawddwy]]}} via the {{convert|545|m|ft|abbr=off}} high pass of {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Bwlch y Groes]]}}, the second highest tarmacked public road in Wales and the minor road running northwest and west from {{lang|cy|italic=no|Llanuwchllyn}} towards {{lang|cy|italic=no|[[Bronaber]]}} via the {{convert|531|m|ft|abbr=off}} high pass of {{lang|cy|italic=no|Bwlch Pen-feidiog}}.

====Railways====
[[File:Snowdonia national park (50620241681).jpg|thumb|500px|[[Pen-y-Pass]], Snowdonia national park road]]
*The double track [[North Wales Coast Line]] passes along the northern boundary of the park between Conwy and Bangor, briefly entering it at {{lang|cy|italic=no|Penmaen-bach}} Point, where it is in a tunnel. Stations serve the communities of [[Conwy railway station|Conwy]], [[Penmaenmawr railway station|Penmaenmawr]], [[Llanfairfechan railway station|Llanfairfechan]] and [[Bangor railway station (Wales)|Bangor]].
*The single-track [[Conwy Valley Line]] runs south from [[Llandudno Junction railway station|Llandudno Junction]], and enters the park north of Betws-y-coed, which is served by a station, then continues west up the Lledr valley by way of further stations at [[Pont-y-Pant railway station|Pont-y-pant]], [[Dolwyddelan railway station|Dolwyddelan]] and [[Roman Bridge railway station|Roman Bridge]]. After passing through a tunnel, the passenger line now terminates at [[Blaenau Ffestiniog railway station]], where it connects with the [[Ffestiniog Railway]].

:Before 1961 the route continued as the [[Bala and Ffestiniog Railway]] via Trawsfynydd to Bala, joining another [[Ruabon-Barmouth line|former route]] along the Dee valley which ran southwest via Dolgellau to join the still extant coastal [[Cambrian Line]] south of Barmouth.
*The Pwllheli branch of the Cambrian Line splits from the Aberystwyth branch at [[Dovey Junction railway station|Dovey Junction]] and continues northwards via stations at [[Aberdovey railway station|Aberdovey]], [[Tywyn railway station|Tywyn]], [[Tonfanau railway station|Tonfanau]], [[Llwyngwril railway station|Llwyngwril]], [[Fairbourne railway station|Fairbourne]] and [[Morfa Mawddach railway station|Morfa Mawddach]] to [[Barmouth railway station|Barmouth]] where it crosses the Mawddach estuary by the Grade II* listed wooden [[Barmouth Bridge]], a structure which also provides for walkers and cyclists. Continuing northwards, further stations serve [[Llanaber railway station|Llanaber]], [[Talybont railway station|Tal-y-bont]], [[Dyffryn Ardudwy railway station|Dyffryn Ardudwy]], [[Llanbedr railway station|Llanbedr]], [[Pensarn railway station|Pensarn]] and [[Llandanwg railway station|Llandanwg]] before reaching [[Harlech railway station|Harlech]]. [[Tygwyn railway station|Tygwyn]], [[Talsarnau railway station|Talsarnau]] and [[Llandecwyn railway station|Llandecwyn]] stations are the last before the line exits the park as it crosses the Dwyryd estuary via [[Pont Briwet]] and turns westwards bound for Pwllheli via Penrhyndeudraeth, Porthmadog and Criccieth.

Many sections of dismantled railway are now used by walking and cycling routes and are described elsewhere. The [[Bala Lake Railway]] is a heritage railway which has been established along a section of the former mainline route between Bala and Llanuwchllyn. Other heritage railways occupy sections of former mineral lines, often narrow gauge and are described in a separate section.

====Buses====
The national park is served by a growing bus network, branded ''Sherpa'r Wyddfa'' (formerly Snowdon Sherpa). The network was relaunched in July 2022 with this new brand to reflect the National Park's promotion of Welsh place names. Thus the publicity and websites for the newly branded service only use these Welsh names, even though the publicity is also directed at monoglot English speakers.

Together with the {{lang|cy|[[TrawsCymru]]}} network of buses, this provides a car-free option for tourists and locals wishing to travel across the National Park.
