At 621 metres (2036 feet) high, Snaefell is the highest point on the Isle of Man. For much of the year, the peak is covered in snow - indeed the name ’Snaefell’ means ’snowfall’. Snaefell summit can be reached in two ways - by walking or by taking the famous electric trams. The tramway runs from Laxey and is called the Snaefell Mountain Railway, the only such railway in the British Isles. Those that make the journey will find there is even a letterbox near the summit!
