Mona YongPyong Mt. Balwangsan

Mona YongPyong Mt. Balwangsan is the resort-area of Yongpyong (Yongpyeong Resort) on Mt. Balwangsan in Gangwon's Pyeongchang area, the established Korean ski-and-mountain resort that hosted alpine-skiing events during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The resort spans large slopes on Mt. Balwangsan with multiple ski runs across several difficulty levels, condo and hotel accommodations, restaurants, and warm-season activities including the Balwangsan Mountain Coaster and a cable-car ride to the summit (with broad mountain-view observation). Winter is the headline season for skiing-and-snowboarding, but the resort runs year-round with summer mountain hiking, fall color, and spring flowers extending the seasonal range. Best for travelers seeking a major Korean mountain-resort destination, paired with broader Pyeongchang-and-Gangwon highland itineraries.
