Skiing & Boarding

Yongpyong has more than 25kms of groomed slopes and a terrain park for all abilities. It hosted the slalom and giant slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Yongpyong has two areas, a low altitude area of easy and intermediate pistes around the base and a higher area of more challenging terrain including some steep runs where the Olympic slalom took place. While you will not get any off-piste skiing or powder days here, it is the largest and most varied resort in South Korea.
