## Visit Pyeongchang

Where to stay

Things to do

#### The host county for the 2018 Winter Olympics offers numerous outdoor cold-weather sports activities. Enjoy nature here in winter and throughout the year.

While Pyeongchang has been known among Asian skiers for its excellent ski resorts for some time, the rest of the world has learned about this area because of its role hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics. Come to see competitive races or ski on your own. Visit year-round to simply enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views.

Alpensia is the centre of 2018 Olympic events, with the Olympic Village, stadium and numerous international hotels readied years in advance of the competition. Have spa treatments and water park fun at Ocean 700 or play golf at the area’s 45-hole course.

Ski and snowboard at Alpensia Ski Resort and bring the family to enjoy the long sledding run. See Alpensia’s Olympic facilities and watch competitive events in ski jumping, cross-country skiing, biathlon, luge, bobsled and skeleton. Nearby, the somewhat larger Yongpyong Ski Resort and Jeongseon Alpine Centre have challenging slopes used for slalom, downhill and other Olympic alpine events. Phoenix Park also offers excellent skiing and a large snowboard park.

Drive through some of the county’s valleys to see other attractions. See and smell the 13 theme gardens, galleries and ponds of Herbnara Farm in Gangwon. You can have food and drinks made from the 100 varieties of herbs grown on the farm and purchase teas and other products to take home.

Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Bongpyeong-myeon and the Heungjeong Valley. Small waterfalls gurgle and gush along the briskly flowing stream. Watch for trout and other fish darting about in the cool, clear water.

Travel to Bongpyeong in September for the annual Hyoseok Cultural Festival. Tour the birthplace of author Lee Hyo-seok, author of *When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom*, and appreciate the natural beauty of the area that gave him unlimited inspiration.

Get to Pyeongchang in about 2.5 hours by car or bus from the airport in Seoul and 3.5 hours from Incheon. Come for winter skiing from November to March or enjoyment of the beautiful mountains and valleys year-round.

솔직히 가격도좀비싸고 후기도좋아 와이프 생일날 4살애기랑 가족여행을 갔습니다. 하지만 겨울이라. 식사하는곳은 너무너무춥고. 방도 그렇게따뜻하지않고 저희가족새벽에ㅜ강제기상하고 이가격이맞나 싶습니다. 거의40만원인데 이가격이면 호텔에서 따뜻하게자고 맛있는 조식을 먹을꺼같습니다. 일단 통유리지만 밖에서 다보입니다. 글고 숯불이안되니 차라리 식사를하고 숙소를가세요. 정말 겨울에는 비추천입니다.

This was non peak season.The breakfast buffet was nice. The rooms were a little dated but were doing some renovations so believe will be nicer later. On site restaurants were good and overall would visit again if there was a chance too during peak season.
