Gyeonggi

First time skiing! After meeting in the morning, we took a tour bus to the ski clothing rental shop. The itinerary included ski jackets, ski pants, and ski boots, but protective gear still needs to be rented separately. For safety, the tour guide recommended renting as much as possible for insurance. My friend and I rented knee pads, helmets, and gloves (bought our own). Socks and face masks were also available for rent, so I recommend bringing about 100,000 Korean won in cash (per person). After arriving at the ski resort, we were divided into two groups (two boards/one board) to pick up equipment and receive instruction. First time skiing... of course you have to learn by falling! XD Then we learned the basics of how to ski and brake, but we needed to go to other Chuncheon attractions in the middle of our trip with friends, so we basically didn't have much time to ski. Thanks to the tour guide and customer service, after we begged, they let us continue skiing for a while after we came back, otherwise we would have really felt bad. As for Gu Bong Cafe Street, it's a beautiful place with scenery. I think it's a place where you can take a temporary break and see the scenery when you're tired of driving. And about skiing, I'm really bad. I kept falling and even though I braked, I kept sliding sideways, which made me feel scared. After trying many times, I simply took snow photos first haha. Overall it was still very fun and a cool experience!! But be prepared for your body to be super sore the next day, so don't put it on the first day of your trip! 😂 Finally, thank you to the tour guide, instructors, and customer service staff for their care.

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.

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.

It was a fun experience for the family. We are grateful to our tour guide Dean who is very patient with my senior citizen parents. He is also very patient with our questions not only about skiing but also about Korea. Will recommend this tour.

One day prior, there was a reminder sent to my WhatsApp. On tour day, the tour guide we were assigned to (Laura) was amazing! She speaks fluent English, punctual, reminded us to stay safe and have fun! The day trip is worth it.

The Gapyeong Rail Bike experience was so much fun! We were the first ones there and even arrived before the staff, but everything went smoothly once they arrived—we just showed our QR code and were good to go. The process was very easy and organized. One tip: don’t come unprepared, especially in winter. Make sure to wear thick clothing and cover your face because it gets extremely cold, and the wind is strong while riding the bike. The day we went was exceptionally cold in Gapyeong, but despite the weather, the experience was still enjoyable and memorable.

We are actually booked to Jishan Ski Resort but was transferred to Elyshian Resort. They accommodated us same as Jishan but my advise for first timers that is not really into sports/ski that this is a bit difficult. But if you are adventurous, then go for it. Our tour guide Patrick have explained it properly though and have answered all our queries.

Had an amazing skiing experience! The instructors- especially Jin and Harry, were very helpful, equipment was well maintained, and the slopes were perfect for beginners. Definitely a fun and memorable day. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful time on this tour with Alex as our guide. He contacted us the day before the tour and carefully explained all the details and instructions, which made us feel well-prepared and at ease from the beginning. At the ski resort, he was extremely kind and patient, especially with us beginners. Thanks to his clear explanations and encouragement, we were able to enjoy skiing much more than we expected. He also took lots of photos for us along the way, helping us capture many great memories. Overall, the tour felt very relaxed and comfortable, and we truly enjoyed every moment. ⛷️✨
