General presentation
Gangneung et Pyeongchang
East Sea, historic houses, plantations, mountain temples and high plateaus connect the Gangneung coast with the reliefs of Pyeongchang.
To understand what Gangneung and Pyeongchang are, you must look at the side of House Ojukheon, Beach Anmok and Temple Woljeongsa. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the coastline, mountain reliefs, heritage and forests and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
