Visit High1 Ski Resort, which features beautifully clean & puffy snow with the highest altitude (1,345 meters) among Korean ski resorts!
High1 Ski Resort prides itself on high snow quality and state-of-the-art facilities, which bring ski and snowboard lovers to this mega-sized ski resort.
However, one thing that might put you off a trip to High1 Ski Resort is its long distance from Seoul.
A one-way journey between High1 Ski Resort and Seoul takes 3 hours, leading to spending 6 hours on highways for a round trip.
To make their long journey more worthwhile, a lot of skiers choose extended stays rather than day trips and fully enjoy the winter thrills at High 1 Ski Resort.

An ample amount of snowfall in the area helps the slopes maintain consistently high snow quality. With its naturally puffy snow, the long and wide ski slopes are another merit that makes the ski resort highly known by many ski lovers.
Especially the three slopes that start from the top of Baekunsan Mountain are the highlight of this huge ski resort.
Look down the entire ski resort on top of the peak and slide down the endless slope. You’ll be in awe of the sheer beauty of nature and feel hair-raising thrills at the same time.
