Geography & Climate

  • South Korea is a peninsula between the Japan Sea and the Yellow Sea, bordering North Korea. Mountains rise in the North East and in central South, remaining below 2.000m, like the numerous volcanic islands.
  • The summer are hot and humid, but the fall and the spring are cooler and drier. Winds from Sibiria provide arctic temperatures during the winter.
  • Typhoons are a constant threat during the summer months.

Activities


    • The best places are the volcanic islands Jeju-Do and Ulleung-Do. The runs are not difficult, but rather fun in the woods, seldom in open space.
    • Yongpyong, the site of future winter olympics, is another possibility, but preferably for free riders than ski tourers.


    • Trekking is a national obsession in South Korea. Equipment and infrastructure in National Parks prove it.
    • Good places to go are the volcanic islands mentioned in the ski touring section, and also the National Parks of Seoraksan (North), Chiaksan (Central) and Jirisan (South).


    • Sea Kayaking along the coast is another great activity to learn more about South Korea’s nature and diversity.
