Escape the hustle and bustle of the big city for a day and hit the slopes at Alpensia, a perfectly maintained ski resort that's set to be the site of the 2018 Olympic Games. Transportation, equipment, and a beginner ski lesson is included in this hassle-free experience.

After convenient pickup from your hotel, make your way out of the city and into the county of Pyeongchang, where you're greeted by staggering, snow-dusted peaks and dense forest scenery. Pristine white snow covering slopes that look virtually untouched are sure to have you excited to strap on your skies.

If you wish, participate in an introductory ski lesson that covers all the basics and gets you ready for the downhills. Next, you're ready to head up the hill to take on meandering slopes that are perfect for beginners. There's also an area for more experienced skiers to show off their skills.

Your day includes plenty of free time to use as you see fit, gliding peacefully down the mountain and honing your technique. In the afternoon, hop back into the coach and head back to Seoul, stopping at the Ginseng or Amethyst center for a little shopping before you are taken back to your hotel.
