Decision Due on UK’s Proposed Biggest Indoor Slope

The scheme includes a large indoor ski centre, a tropical‑style water park, indoor and outdoor activity zones, up to 418 hotel rooms, 30 woodland lodges, and around 830 parking spaces.

It would become the UK’s longest indoor real‑snow slope, measuring between 400m and 424m in length.

The snow centre would also include year‑round training facilities for skiing and snowboarding, designed to support GB and Welsh Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

The application returns to Merthyr Tydfil Council’s planning committee on January 7th, following earlier direction from Welsh Government.

We reported on the move earlier on PlanetSKI:

• Plans for large indoor slope in Wales move forward

Councillors previously voted against officer advice to refuse the scheme, and ministers have since confirmed they will not intervene.

Here at PlanetSKI we will bring you the result on Wednesday.
