A busy Trams service runs passengers between the town, the station and the local working cabin lift where skiers take the easy route up to the slopes.

In June 1969, the Great Orme Cabin Lift, a modern alternative to the tramway, was opened with its base station adjacent to the open-air theatre.

At the bottom at Sixt Fer à Cheval, a bus meets skiers to take them back to the cabin lift at Samoëns.

- Bulgaria's Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev was trapped in a new cabin lift on Wednesday for nearly an hour due to a power outage, local media reported.

Stanishev visited the construction site of a new ski resort in the Rila mountains in southwestern Bulgaria when a generator powering the cabin lift got broken, said the national radio, whose correspondent was also trapped.

The Cable Car (or Cabin lift ) starts from its base station, just above the pier, and sweeps across the Dry Ski Slope on its way to the summit of the Great Orme.

The 2009 / 10 season will witness the opening of the new Stubnerkogelbahn (8-seater cabin lift in two sections from Bad Gastein to the Stubnerkogel summit) as well as the GipfelXpress (new 6-seater lift) in Dorfgastein.

On 6 December 1983, the Llandudno Pier Company sold the pavilion for £10,000 to Llandudno Pavilion Ltd, a sister company of Uttoxeter Investments Ltd, a leisure company that already operated the Llandudno Cabin Lift.
