Llanberis is a village in Gwynedd, Wales, lying beside the Llyn Padarn lake in Snowdonia.
The town originally grew around slate quarrying, but since the closure of the quarries the main industries have been tourism and work at the Dinorwig pumped storage hydroelectricity station.
Llanberis is a popular base for ascents of Snowdon, lying at the foot of the Snowdon Mountain Railway and the Llanberis Path. Other attractions in the village include the Welsh Slate Museum, the Llanberis Lake Railway and a country park.
Llanberis is also a popular base for outdoor activities including walking, mountaineering, mountain biking, pony trekking and water sports.
