Where is it?

From Stratford head up Pembroke Road without turning, into the National Park, past the Mountain House on the left until you get to the car park on the Plateau.  The track begins at the top end of the car park.

Features

You could ski in winter, but playing in the snow is probably just as much fun for school groups.  Even in summer it is an interesting walk.

Accessibility

User friendly for young and old!  The road up to the tunnel, although steep, is sometimes used by vehicles, is not long and won’t take long to get up, maybe 15 minutes.  Junior children could handle this walk.  Adult pupil ratios will really depend on the time of the year and the weather.  A pre site visit will give you an idea.

Dangers

This is a potentially dangerous track, not just from the threat of avalanche.  A falling three metre long icicle in winter could do some damage, snow hides where the track really is, ice is slippery, other track users may not leave much room if for example they are snow boarding down the access road when you are walking up!
