Yongpyong Ski Spa Resort

Yongpyong Resort in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do is South Korea's premier alpine ski destination and host of the 2018 Winter Olympics alpine skiing events, where calcic mineral spring water from the Taebaek Mountain volcanic zone fills thermal spa facilities that provide essential recovery for athletes and visitors after demanding days on Korea's most challenging and internationally celebrated ski terrain. The resort's location in the Pyeongchang highland — whose extreme continental climate produces consistent dry powder snow — makes mineral bathing an integral part of the Korean winter sports resort experience, with jjimjilbang facilities welcoming exhausted skiers as an essential après-ski ritual. Famous globally as the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics venue, Yongpyong combines Olympic alpine ski heritage, calcic mineral bathing, and the dramatic Taebaek Mountain snow scenery into Korea's most internationally recognized mountain spa experience.
