The Baekdudaegan ridge between Daegwallyeong and Seonjaryeong is the best snowflake trekking course in Korea. The difference in altitude between the two points, about 5 km apart, is only 325 m. A few smooth mountain peaks and a flat ridge like a field road connect the two peaks. There are almost no steep slopes and the path is clear, so anyone can easily enjoy snowflake trekking with proper equipment and clothing. The road from Daegwallyeong to Seonjaryeong is largely divided into a ridge path and a valley path. The Baekdudaegan ridge path is refreshing, and the concave valley path is cozy. The windy ridge road offers an excellent view, and the quiet valley road is very fun to walk along with the sound of water as a friend. While the scenery of the ridgeline is magnificent, the valley road, where pine trees, larches, oaks, horsetails, and bamboos form colonies, is charming. The circulating course of the Seonjaryeong Snow Flower Road, where the two courses are clearly contrasted, reaches a total length of 10.8km. Even if you are not in a hurry, you can make a round trip in about 4-5 hours.
