Dry slope
Llandudno · Conwy / North Wales · UK
Wales’s premier dry ski centre atop the Great Orme, featuring a 250m Perma-snow slope, panoramic Irish Sea views, and a 750m Cresta toboggan run.
Carving turns with panoramic views across the Irish Sea defines the experience at this Great Orme landmark in North Wales. The centre's 250-metre main run uses Perma-snow matting-a synthetic surface designed to reduce friction and eliminate the abrasive bite of traditional wire bristles. Alongside the main ski and snowboard lanes, the facility operates a sweeping 750-metre stainless steel Cresta toboggan chute that snakes along the coastal hillside.
