I had a great experience with the team, they were very kind and understanding, even after I was almost left by my bus, They explained everything throughly. I’d definitely recommend Peter’s team to family and friends, and I believe that I’ll book again, I had the best experience, Ms Hailyn was very great with us when she was teaching us how to skii. Thank you.

We visited Snowyland on December 23, 2025 and were so lucky to experience real snowfall, which made the trip extra memorable. Even though some attractions were closed, the snow itself made it all worth it. It was very different from our visit in late January 2024 when there was no snow, so this time felt truly special. ❄️😊

We were so excited to try skiing for the first time during our winter vacation in Korea. It was an incredible experience, and we are so grateful for the opportunity. Our guide, Alvin, was exceptional and made the entire adventure even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate his expertise and friendly demeanor. This has undoubtedly been a highlight of our trip.

Gangchon rail bike was an amazing experience. I was glad I booked on klook rather then buying on site as there were limited tickets for the time that I chose. You have to show the voucher at the counter to get a physical ticket.

The place was amazing. my children had lots of fun at the snowyland play area. There are about 3 free snow sled rides there for children to play. There is also an area for children to play with the snow and build snowman.

I recently joined the Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski / Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour from Seoul and had a fantastic time. The day was well-organized, making it easy to enjoy both the journey and skiing. Ski suit rental and basic class really stood out for me during the trip. Overall, I’d give this tour 5 Stars. And highly recommended for beginners.

Ruby & Roy were very nice & lively. They were also very particular with safety. The trip itself was good too. It's our first time to go skiing, and though it was hard, we still had fun. Worth the penny 🙂

our tour guide Sun has a good english & chinese, she explained itinerary in details, though we had a full member & slightly delayed in time of ski preparation we still have some time to learn basic ski, due to unlucky day I need to be escorted to medic room, high1 safety crew & nurse were so helpful with communication limitations in english, try to go up to high1top if you have purchased gondola packages, you will feel in another place. overall high1 recommended for user that has few times skiing not for newbie user since the beginner slope was really high. Thanks Sun & Klook!
