Adventure creators

Korea is a mountainous country, and adventure content here is mostly about hiking: Bukhansan on Seoul's northern edge, Seoraksan's granite ridges in autumn, and Hallasan and the crater trails on Jeju. The DMZ tour adds a different kind of edge. Winter brings ski resorts in Gangwon, where the 2018 Winter Olympics were held.

What can I film?

  • Ridge hikes on Bukhansan, with the city spread below.
  • Seoraksan National Park in autumn colour.
  • Jeju's volcanic cones, lava-stone coast and Olle trails.
  • Winter sports in Gangwon province.

What should I know?

National park trails have cut-off times and some close seasonally for fire risk or conservation. Korean trails are well built but steep. Drone rules apply in national parks too, so check before flying.
