Snowing winter is here and the Gangwon province shows off the untouched white snow mountain and snow festival !
Taebaeksan is getting crowded only in winter with this snowy festival and with the beautiful snowed mountains. Taebaeksan especially one of 3 most sacred mountains in Korea, on top of the mountain there is an altar to pray for heaven!
it had all the elements of a winter holiday. It promised to be as scenic as anyone could ask for. Once there, we could enjoy sledding, ice and snow sculpting, traditional arts and crafts, and tons of little booths with steaming treats to battle the cold.
Do you want to see the giant snow statue from movie characters, fairtales and celebrities? want to have a tea or coffee in giant ice igloo? and a range of other winter-themed artwork from home and abroad. Then, definitely join to enjoy the amazing winter fun activities
There will also be a wide variety of amusement facilities such as a snow tunnel, slide and rafting area as well as snow and ice sculptures.
A number of other interactive programs such as snow sledding and other fun games will be held during the festival period. The festival full of fun and excitement will be the best winter destination providing worthwhile memories for adults dreams of happiness for kids.

Taebaeksan on a clear day is simply majestic. When me and my friend reached the peak, we were at a loss for words. The view was endless green mountain ridges, seemingly forever. After visiting about 12 of Korea’s excellent National Parks, the view I was fortunate enough to witness at Taebaeksan equalled the very best. The beauty of the mountain ranges in Korea is that each peak is almost unanamously breathtaking, and possible to hike in the confines of a day. Like many sacred mountains in Korea, Taebaeksan has a weathered altar at its summit.
This may be suprising because Seoraksan National Park is located in the same province. While Seoraksan is undoubtebly exceptional and surpasses Taebaeksan in rugged beauty, however Taebaeksan feels like its just you and the mountain.
[♣ Crampons will be prepared for rental] 5,000won for deposit, will be refunded.
Most of trails snow would be packed and good to walk.
Some steep part will be helped with fences and poles on the trail. However the crampons give you stable grabs on your shoes,it’s very quick and simple to hook on your shoes.It’s safer to walk snow-covered path as it is cushioning and soft.
[♣ the Mine museum] is an unexpected joy to visit with an outstanding crystal/gem display plus excellent displays and even some interactive entertainment which we all can enjoy. entrance fee 2K won ————————-
