Pyeongchang Alpensia Highlands Walk (평창 알펜시아 고원 산책)
The Alpensia resort area developed for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics sits at 700 metres elevation in the Daegwallyeong highland plateau, and the post-Olympic period has given the area a quieter, more accessible character than the commercial ski resort atmosphere suggests. The highland plateau landscape — open meadows at altitude above the treeline that are uncommon in Korean terrain — gives the area a visual quality distinct from lowland Gangwon-do. The Olympic Museum within the Alpensia complex documents the 2018 Games. The drive across the Daegwallyeong Pass from Gangneung is one of the most dramatic road sequences in Korea; the highland plateau restaurant strip below the pass serves the buckwheat dishes specific to the altitude.
