Après & vibe
A self-contained complex with hotels, restaurants and a large entertainment and gaming resort, offering plentiful indoor evening options.
The resort
Set high in the Baekdudaegan mountains of Gangwon-do, High1 (하이원) is among the biggest and loftiest ski resorts in South Korea, built as a full destination complex with hotels, dining and entertainment at its heart. The terrain is defined by long, wide, meticulously groomed pistes served by a gondola and extensive chairlifts, with generous night-skiing hours a signature draw. Its relatively high elevation for Korea helps snow retention, but as with all Korean resorts the season leans heavily on snowmaking and the coldest winter months. It suits families, groups and intermediates looking for reliable grooming and a self-contained resort experience rather than steep or off-piste adventure. The scale and infrastructure are its standout qualities.

Skiing & terrain
Well catered for, with gentle lower slopes and a large, organised resort layout.
The core strength — long, wide, immaculately groomed cruising runs.
Some steeper marked runs, though genuine challenge is limited.
Little dedicated expert or off-piste terrain; grooming and scale are the appeal.
Long ridge-top descents
Gondola-served runs from the upper mountain deliver some of the longest continuous groomed pistes in Korea.
Extended night skiing
Floodlit slopes stay open late into the evening, a popular feature for visitors making the most of a short trip.
