Winter Activities for Visit Korea Year 2023-2024
Make winter an even more magical time in South Korea with this year’s lineup of winter activities for Visit Korea. Soar down the slopes at the country’s top ski resorts, and warm up at a family-friendly spa in one of Seoul’s most popular shopping spots. No matter how you like to play in the snow, Visit Korea Year 2023-24 features an activity for you!
Enjoy Korea | Ski and Ocean Winter Tour
Spend three days and two nights enjoying top activities in Gangwon Province during a ski and ocean tour. Book accommodations at Vivaldi Park Ski Resort to have all-inclusive access to the park’s skiing and snowboarding activities, outdoor theme park, restaurants and 5-star facilities. Many suites and condos provide direct access to the park’s 13 slopes, which have options for all skill levels and ages.
Travelers who just want to spend just one day in the snow can opt for a one-day pass or nighttime skiing packages. Just 80 minutes from Seoul, the park is a perfect place for a daytrip and just a short drive from another can’t-miss K-Culture landmark in Gangwon Province – Juminjin Breakwater. Since appearing in the 2016 K-drama “Goblin,” the coastal attraction near Jumunjin Beach has become a hot spot for selfies and romantic photo shoots. The location is about a 30-minute ride from Vivaldi Park Ski Resort and a two-hour bus ride from Seoul.

And did we mention that kids are welcome, too? While children splash in multiple pools and slip down slides, parents can soak up the scent of cypress trees while relaxing in the Cypress Room or immerse themselves in a completely different galaxy in the Media Art Room. The options for fun and relaxation are almost endless and absolutely perfect for the entire family.
