제주국제공항 서귀포 매일올레시장 카멜리아힐 중문관광단지

Suncheon Bay & Yeosu · winter trip

순천역 순천만습지 여수엑스포역 오동도

Muju & Deogyusan · winter trip

무주공용버스터미널 무주덕유산리조트 관광곤도라 덕유산 설천봉 덕유산 향적봉

Base near the resort and give the gondola a dedicated morning. Choose a sightseeing visit or an equipped winter walk after checking conditions; a ride to Seolcheonbong does not include a summit hike.

Suggested stay

2 days / 1 night

Taebaek & Taebaeksan · winter trip

태백역 태백석탄박물관 태백산국립공원 당골 태백산 유일사 탐방로 입구

Gangwon

Choose whether the main purpose is a festival visit or a winter hike. Keep Taebaek as the overnight base and the Coal Museum as an indoor alternative. A festival ticket is not a guided mountain trip.

Inje Wondae-ri Birch Forest · winter trip

인제시외버스터미널 인제읍 자작나무숲길 760 인제 원대리 자작나무숲

Gangwon

Make the forest the main activity of the day. Reaching the white-birch groves requires an uphill walking approach; the visitor parking area is not the famous tree-lined scene.

Suggested stay

1 full day; 1 night for a slower visit

Season

December 2026–February 2027
