Yr Aran is a mountain peak on a ridge radiating south from Snowdon, Wales' highest mountain, with views of the summit of Snowdon, Moel Hebog and the Nantlle Ridge. It has an elevation of 747.2 m (2,451 ft) and a prominence of 235 m (771 ft).[1]

Although no paths are marked on maps, the ascent can be made as a detour from the Rhyd Ddu path or the Watkin Path up Snowdon.[2]
