Pyeongchang is a mecca for winter snow experiences. Exactly six years later, in February, the long-awaited Winter Olympics will also be held in Pyeongchang. A winter trip to Pyeongchang begins with a visit to the ski jump tower to solidify the meaning of the Winter Olympics. In Alpensia, Daegwallyeong-myeon, the ski jumping platform that was used as the background for the movie National Team is open to the public. There is also a practice space for young and representative athletes, such as biathlon and bobsleigh training grounds, so you can get a glimpse of the thrilling training scene. The thrill of hosting the Winter Olympics leads to a real experience space that will delight the body. In Uiyaji Wind Village and Daegwallyeong Snow Village in the Hoenggye-eup area, you can experience dynamic snow fields such as bobsled sledding and snow sledding. If you want to enjoy a light walking tour with snowy scenery, walk along the green and white fir tree forest path of Woljeongsa Temple. Hwangto Gudeul Village is a good place to end the day by experiencing the hot ondol.
