Introduction

Hallasan is located in the center of Jeju Island, South Korea, with an altitude of 1,950 meters and a beautiful Baengnokdam crater lake. Since being included in the World Natural Heritage Reserve in 2007, Hallasan has gained attention, but it is not easy to climb to the summit because there is no cable car for tourists. There are five hiking trails to choose from to climb Hallasan, including Dunegeon, Yeongsil, Eorimok, Eoseungsaengak, and Gwaneumsa. The best time to climb is from May to June and September to October, but every season has its own unique charm. Spring brings azaleas, summer brings lush streams, autumn brings vibrant red leaves, and winter brings snow-covered landscapes, all of which can bring endless surprises to climbers. Therefore, we recommend that you prepare fully before hiking, bring hiking poles and wear crampons in winter to prevent slipping and injury.
