Pyeongchang Healing Onsen is set in the highland plateau of Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do — the venue of the 2018 Winter Olympics and one of Korea's most mountainous counties, whose extreme continental climate, clean highland air, and exceptional natural environment across Odaesan and Taebaek Mountain parks have established the region as a destination for wellness-focused tourism. The bicarbonate mineral spring water from the Taebaek volcanic geological zone provides thermal bathing in the highland air of a region where altitude, forest, clean water, and volcanic mineral springs combine to create a naturally comprehensive wellness environment within Korea's long thermal tradition. The combination of bicarbonate thermal bathing, the Olympic sporting heritage and world-class ski slopes of the Pyeongchang resort area, and the pristine highland nature of Odaesan National Park — home to ancient Buddhist temples and primeval beech forests — creates a complete mountain retreat in the highest inhabited plateau of the Korean peninsula.
