Approach & access

From Ogwen Cottage follow the large tourist track gently upwards, first taking a right branch after a few hundred meters and then a left branch when you reach Lyn Idwal (the lake below the slabs). Follow the path easily to the base of the slabs. 20-30 mins depending on how fit you're feeling. Descent from the main slab routes is via an easy scramble off to the left followed by a descent into the gully to the left of the slabs.
