This full-day bus trip from Seoul takes visitors to Yongpyong Ski Resort, South Korea’s largest ski area located on Mt. Balwangsan in PyeongChang.

Passengers are picked up at downtown Seoul hotels or one of three subway station meeting points in Hongdae, Seoul City Hall, or Myeongdong. The tour offers three options: a shuttle-only transfer for those who want to explore the resort or watch skiing without equipment; an Essential Package that provides skis, poles, boots, and a 30-minute beginner lesson; and a Full Ski Package with full ski gear, ski suit rental, a 2-hour lesson, and a lift pass covering all slopes. At Yongpyong, guests can enjoy 31 ski runs ranging from beginner to advanced levels, backed by about 250cm of snow each year.

The cable car ride to Dragon Peak takes about 20 minutes, climbing 7.4 kilometers, and offers mountain views, cafes, and a chance to drink from a mineral spring. Skiers with lift passes may ski down or return by gondola. The tour includes air conditioning and a guide but excludes meals, snowboards, sleds, goggles, and an optional fee for switching to snowboards.
