9D8N SOUTH KOREA SKIING

9D8N South Korea Skiing

On arrival at Seoul Incheon Airport, your driver will meet you at the arrival hall and drive you to your hotel in Pyeongchang Ski Resort, the host city for the 2018 Winter Olympics and well known for its meandering peaks and pristine ski slopes.  With mountains accounting for more than 80% of the land area, it is no wonder that Pyeongchang is coined the “Alps of Korea”.  Enjoy the rest of the day at your own leisure. 

Day 02 – PYEONGCHANG SKI RESORT  [B]

Enjoy the various snow activities and the comprehensive suite of amenities at your own pace.  The self-contained ski resort served as the main Olympic Village during the 2018 Winter Olympics, hosting the ski jumping, bobsleigh and cross-country skiing.  Most ski resorts also have their own theme parks offering not only wave pools and water slides, but also “jimjilbang” (sauna) and spa services to soothe body aches after a long and strenuous day of winter sports.  (T-shirts and shorts for “jimjilbang” are provided by the resorts.)

Day 05 – PYEONGCHANG SKI RESORT – SEOUL   [B]

Bid farewell to Pyeongchang and head to Seoul, capital of South Korea, where modern skyscrapers, high-tech subways and pop culture meet Buddhist temples, palaces and street markets.  South Korea’s capital is a multi-faceted boom town, a 24-hour metropolis where there is always something to see, something to do and something to eat.  Whether it is buying cosmetics or café-hopping, there is so much to be excited about in this megacity.  The Jongno district is Seoul’s historic heart, where you will find heritage-listed palaces such as Gyeongbokgung (the primary palace) and Changdeokgung, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to “Huwon” or the “Secret Garden”.  Bukchon Hanok Village is a maze of narrow alleyways and traditional Korean houses called “hanoks“.  Exploring its network of streets will take you back in time and introduce you to a 600-year old Seoul.  Elsewhere, Myeongdong is known for its upmarket shopping; Hongdae and Itaewon are bustling nightlife hubs; and Gangnam is modern and stylish.  There is also the renowned Gangnam Underground Shopping Street conveniently located at Gangnam Station.  Explore Seoul city at your own leisure.
