Where To Find South Korea's Winter Wonderland
Dec 05, 2023 By Sean William

Winter is one of the greatest times to visit South Korea. The city becomes a miniature version of a winter wonderland when it snows. Among the many things to do in South Korea are snowboarding, skiing down the slopes, and ice fishing for fresh trout.

Jisan Ski Resort

The Jisan Ski Resort is the ideal destination for a fast trip from Seoul, as it is only 40 minutes away. Whether you want to spend the day ripping up the slopes or taking in the sights, we've got you covered. Jisan Ski Resort is the place to start if you're up for serious slope-side carnage.

Everything you need to participate is included; there is no need to bring anything. Snowboarding, skiing, and sledding are all options. Those who would rather not ski or snowboard can go on a sightseeing excursion instead.

Bears Town

If you're a serious skier, you should check out Bears Town Ski Resort. You'll be spoiled for choice by the eleven distinct runs totaling over fifteen kilometers in length. In addition, there are eight ski lifts available, so getting from one part of the mountain to another will be easy.

If this is your first time skiing, don't panic; the slopes offer a variety of trails of varying degrees of difficulty. The resort's peak offers stunning panoramas that are well worth the visit, even if you aren't interested in winter sports—planning a ski trip to Bears Town? Klook has you covered with round-trip transfers from Seoul and all the gear you'll need. There's no need to do any prior work!

One Mount Snow Park

To get a taste of winter's beauty without braving the elements, visitors may visit Onemount Snow Park. Fun for all ages is assured at Onemount, South Korea's first and largest indoor winter theme park. One mount is a destination where visitors can do activities like a bowl on ice, ride husky sleds, see ice performances, and even see the aurora.

Elysian Gangchon Resort

On Nami Island in Gangchon, amid a picturesque valley, is where you'll find the Elysian Resort. If you want to see a winter wonderland but want to avoid spending the night, you may visit this area within a day of Seoul. With Klook, your ski vacation to Elysian may be hassle-free since they provide round-trip transport from Seoul.

Festival of ice Fishing

How about participating in an ice festival? Here's your chance if you're planning on visiting South Korea this winter! Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival and Gapyeong Ice Festival are all ice events held in South Korea.

The trout you catch when ice fishing tastes great on the grill. The adage that anything you see with your own two hands will taste the finest is accurate. Reserve a trip to one of the four ice fishing celebrations on Klook. Traveling to and from these festivals will be easy thanks to the easy availability of round-trip shuttles from Seoul.

Nami Island

If you've been during the summer, you've never seen Nami Island's tree-lined streets look so white. Reenact romantic moments from the Korean drama "Winter Sonata" by taking a stroll in the woods with your bae.

You won't be hungry since street vendors sell freshly made treats like hot steamed red bean buns, syrup-covered pancakes, and sausages. To save any unnecessary effort, book your Nami Island day excursion with round-way transportation from your Seoul hotel on Klook. 7.

Queenmama Market: Shop and Sip

This four-story concept store spans the affluent Gangnam neighborhoods of Apgujeong and Cheongdam while maintaining a low profile. The slow-living movement that has taken over Seoul resulted in the creation of Queenmama Market, which features many levels filled with a wide variety of goods, including design journals, watering cans, and potted cactus. To keep warm, drink a cup of coffee on the rooftop terrace while taking in the gorgeous views of Dosan Park while it is blanketed in snow.

Modern Korean Restaurant Roasted Chestnuts

Enjoy squid-ink bread and roasted chestnuts in the unpretentious setting of Dosa's marble-walled basement. Chef Akira Back, raised in Colorado, has a one-star Michelin restaurant serving Korean food. Dosa takes Korean cuisine beyond the stereotype of being fast and fried by creating seasonal meals that blur the boundary between the two.
