This is such a lovely setting and the views must be stunning on a clear day. Unfortunately, it snowed during our visit which limited the view, but the ambience was wonderful. more »

케이블카 1인당 왕복으로 만원이구요 올라가면 돈이 전혀 아깝지 않습니다 겨울엔 아이젠 신는거 강추!! 눈이 미끄러워서 넘어지기 쉽더라구요~ 가족들이랑 아름다운 경치를 봐서 즐거웠습니다! more »

The cable car was packed up to return money per capita at all worth every penny I'm God wonderful winter climbing irons does!! It is easy to fall in the snow was slick-looking at the beautiful scenery with the family enjoyed it!

케이블카타고 길따라 걸어가니 멋진바위와 나무들이! 등산이 어려울때 쉽게 설악산을 느끼기 좋은 방법인듯 합니다. 돌바위에 작은 소나무들도 멋있어요 more »

The cable car ride and walk up to the wonderful rocks and trees along the way! A good way to feel easy when climbing Mt. Seoraksan. There are also a small stone rock pine looks cool

At the end of the small hike up the long stairway was a amazing scenery during winter, but it was also very slippery up there, would be best to be cautious when exploring this area with hiking shoes.

Nice place to spend a few hours when the weather is good. Cable car takes you to 700 m above sea level. You can hike to it s peak , nearly 5 k metres . About 200 steps up after the cable car to see the views. Put this place in your check list when visiting sea port Sokcho , Sth Korea.

If I’m not an acrophobic, it would be an amazing experience. You can get there by a cable car. (Adult: 10,000 won)

Get ready for a little work out to get to the top of the hill ..the stairs are well built and hand rails go all the way to the top...we visited during low season and even then there was a lot of people...during summer you have to go up on allotted times due to the number of visitors...but it is well worth the trek...amazing views and you can almost go to the highest point...take in all the beauty of the area and spend some time at the top...have fun and be careful
