Parking chaos at popular spots like Pen-y-Pass and Llyn Ogwen is usually a summer and bank holiday issue, but the snowy landscapes have drawn walkers and photographers seeking the perfect winter shot.

This surge in visitors has led to cars being parked along the roadside between Llanberis and Pen-y-Pass, reducing the route to a single-track road. The problem is made worse by icy and snowy conditions, creating a real hazard.
