Gohan: High1 Ski Resort
High1 Ski Resort spans the wooded ridges of Baegunsan in Gangwon-do, where the steep terrain of the Baekdudaegan mountain system has shaped it into a major mountain resort. Centered near Gohan-eup in Jeongseon County, it stands in an area long associated with South Korea’s coal-mining industry and forms part of the wider High1 complex operated by Kangwon Land. Its ski terrain is arranged across the Mountain, Valley and Hill zones, with lifts linking slopes, accommodation and resort facilities. Forested summits and successive ridgelines give the area a distinctly inland highland character, far from the Korean coast. High1 is a focal point for mountain recreation in the former mining towns of southern Gangwon-do.

Gohan-eup sits in the mountainous interior of Gangwon-do, South Korea, where steep, forested terrain surrounds one of Jeongseon County’s historic coal-mining areas. Mining shaped the settlement and the wider former coalfield, while the local economy has since diversified around leisure and services. High1 Resort, whose ski facilities extend across the Gohan–Sabuk area, has made this upland district a notable winter-sports destination. Gohan is also within Jeongseon, a county closely associated with Jeongseon Arirang, a regional form of Korea’s celebrated folk-song tradition.

Built around the Taebaek Mountains and the upper Han River basin, Gangwon-do grew into South Korea’s broad northeastern province, extending from inland valleys to the East Sea coast. Chuncheon, the provincial capital, lies among lakes and waterways in the west, while the eastern districts meet the sea. Seoraksan National Park gives the region a strongly mountainous character, and winter sports remain an important part of its identity. PyeongChang hosted the 2018 Winter Olympics, bringing worldwide attention to Gangwon-do’s snowy uplands. Buckwheat dishes and fresh coastal seafood also feature prominently in local food traditions.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
