Ski Llandudno

At the top end of Happy Valley, built on what was once the Wyddfyd Golf Course, you'll find Ski Llandudno. It is the town's very own 'Perma Snow' 200m long dry ski slope, along with the Ski Lift, Cresta (Toboggan) Run, Alpine Adventure Golf and the Sno Tubes.

If you're not feeling quite so energetic, there is also the Alpine Lodge, serving hot/cold food & drinks all day. There's also a great outdoor balcony area to sit out on and watch all the activity below when the weather is pleasant.

Opening Times: It is open from 10am to 10pm every day (except Christmas Day). The car park can only be accessed by driving up the steep road through Happy Valley (take the turnoff opposite the entrance to the Grand Hotel).

Alpine Adventure Golf

I was up at Ski Llandudno on Sunday to meet some friends for lunch and a pint. Whilst sitting on the outside balcony enjoying the sunshine, I noticed the Alpine Adventure Golf and thought I would go and take a look. What a great little attraction, so well designed and themed; here's a few photos:





"'Putt' your way through 9 holes of golfing madness. Negotiate twists and turns, bumps and bunkers, sledges and lakes! Watch out for runaway chairlifts and other tricky Alpine obstacles!

There are no age restrictions to play our Alpine Adventure Golf Course...just 9 holes of fun for all the family to enjoy.

Open all year round and available for birthday parties and group bookings."

The Other Side Of Summer

Just when we thought we had seen the back of Summer, along comes this weekend with glorious sunshine all day long. The crowds have been out in force in both Llandudno & Colwyn Bay, with business looking to be very good for the assorted purveyors of Ice Cream, Lattes and 'Fancy Goods'. Businesses such as Ski Llandudno, the Summit Complex and the Cabin Lift have also been doing a roaring trade - it's all very pleasing to see. In fact, today (Sunday the 13th September) has looked busier in Llandudno than at any time during this last Summer. An extension to the traditional Summer trading period is, I'm sure, always much appreciated!
