Yongpyong Ski Resort Day Trip from Seoul

Former host of the World Cup Ski Competition and the Asian Winter Games, the Yongpyong Resort offers more than 30 world-class slopes to ski or snowboard during Korea’s winter season. Especially popular among South Korean youth as one of the country’s best ski destinations, Yongpyong is also known as a film location for the TV drama Winter Sonata.

Board the shuttle bus to the Yongpyong Resort for a full day of winter fun. Your ski pass includes complimentary ski gear, so you’ll be fitted for skis, boots and poles at an on-site ski rental shop (or bring along your own snowboard) before heading to the slopes. You can also get fitted for ski clothing — jacket, pants — if you require it.

Then ride the lifts to a selection of beginner, intermediate or advanced ski slopes to suit every level. Gaze out at the stunning scenery on Yongpyong Mountain, located 2,300 feet (700 meters) above sea level with an average of 98 inches (250 cm) of snowfall each year.

Whenever you’re ready to take a break, choose from several restaurants for lunch or enjoy a hot beverage (own expense). At the end of the day, just hop back on the ski shuttle bus back to Seoul.
