    High1 Resort is a mountainous resort located at the foot of Baegunsan Mountain, near Jeongseon, Gangwon-do. Its size and facilities are considered to be one of the greatest in Korea. The resort enjoys a steady popularity thanks to seasonal activities, from skiing in winter to water park in summer, and the wonderful view of the surrounding area. No matter the season, however, High1 Resort promises a comfortable rest and a wide range of activities to enjoy. It is a place where one can go from a tranquil rest in nature to exhilarating activities in mere moments

    Waking Your Fatigued Body from Your Daily Life

    HAO Wellness is designed to wake your body up from fatigue in your daily life. Its flagship programs include the “meditation & flower tea”, “meditation & tea confectionery”, and Querencia Yoga. All programs are held in Unamjeong Pavilion or the Healing House, located in a forest. Unamjeong Pavilion, also known among K-drama enthusiasts as a filming site of the drama , is a building that exemplifies the beauty of the traditional hanok. Healing House, which is located further away from the resort building, is located on a hill above the Palace Hotel. The hill overlooks the mountains that surround the resort and the High1 CC. Meditating on this hill, either with flower tea or traditional tea confectionery, is an exercise in organizing one’s mind into a state of peace.

    The 50-minute meditation program includes breathing meditation, active meditation (body scanning), and fetal position breathing. After a long session of breathing, through which one finds areas of tension and seeks to relax the area, one often finds oneself feeling drowsy. Querencia Yoga is made up of positions that are not too difficult. The total number of participants per session is limited at 4 (under COVID19 measures).

    At the end of the program, one has a chance to sample daylily (wonchuri) tea. The floral tea is characterized by a gentle fragrance and a slightly sweet aftertaste. Daylilies, which are also company flowers chosen by High1 Resort, is a flower that blooms in July and August. In the language of flowers, it symbolizes “waiting”. The resort’s care to service can be seen in the careful selection of flowers for the tea, as whole and well-maintained blossoms are served for guests who may not be able to see the flower in full bloom due to the season.

    Walk on the Sky with Wonderful Trekking Courses

    HAO Trekking programs at High1 Resort involves hiking in mountains, 1,000m above sea level, and taking in phytoncide to purify one’s body and mind under the guidance of High1’s expert guides. Because of the elevation, these trails offer a wonderful way to meet various plants that do not grow in lower regions.

    “Untan-godo Trail”, a collection of trails used to transport coal during the heyday of coal mining in the region. The total length of these trails amount to a staggering 170km. Thankfully, they are organized into four courses for you to choose from, depending on your fitness and needs. The shortest course, “Trekking for Everyone”, is a 2.7km-long trail that brings you from the Dalpaengi Forest Trail to the Dancheui Forest Trail. The trails in this section tend to be flat, so this is the most accessible course among the four. “Trekking and Meditation” course, which takes about 2 hours to complete, brings you to the trails located to the back of the Healing House. Even in the hottest summer days, the trail remains cool with the characteristic chill of the highlands.
