The cable car ride is really long. When you get to the top, the view is amazing.

The cable car glass was so scratchy that it was difficult to enjoy the scenery, and the guide booklet was covering the large glass, so the view was dizzy.There are so many good photo spots and trails at the top that I want to go again.

I recommend buying the ticket online because it's cheaper. The queue took about 2 hours. The ride is about 20 minutes one way. There is a skywalk at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, because of the strong wind during my visit, they closed it so I just took some photos there. Make sure to dress warmly because it was so freezing there. Maybe it was around -20 degrees celcius during my visit. If you like skiing, you can go down by skiing. The queue for going down is not as long as the queue for going up. The view at the top is so beautiful.

The Bangwalsan cable car is awesome. The building was huge and had several restaurants, cafes, gift shops, etc. There were a lot of people who wanted to ski.The fee for the round trip was 25,000W. Very expensive. Make sure you explore the area like skywalk and stamp your walkwayIt took around 30 minutes to reach the peak station. Unfortunately, there was fog and a little rain. We couldn't see much of the scenery.

I suggest you to book ticket in advance before you come here. The cable car ride was quite long, maybe about 10 mins. And I didnt wait at all. I could see lots of people who want to ride this cable car to ski and they have to wait for long time in a long queue on the other side of the door. This cable car will take us to the top where people can enjoy skiing and visitors like me can take photos or just take a walk enjoying the view. Actually, it was super cold with very strong wind that day, and I was not prepared for the severe weather, my mistake, so I couldn't take many pics. 😫

Staffs managed the crowd very well and in an orderly manner. They also ensure that our equipments are well secured before the car leaves.

Balwangsan Cable Car service starts at Dragon Plaza Food Court on the 2nd level in yongpyong resort in Korea.It is a very popular service and is busy at every time of the day. Luckily for us, it was not too crowded.The cable car travels to a peak which is at an altitude of around 1458m. The cable car travels a distance of about 3km and travels at a speed of 5m/s.The cable car transports you to the top of a mountain where there is a viewing point where at the end of the bridge the floor is made of glass. The summit is a very good place for pictures as the view from the scenery makes for a perfect backdrop.The cable car service ends at 6pm at the base station. The service ends at 6:30pm at the summit. It is the only way off the peak.The cable car ride to the peak is a must visit if you are in pyeong chang as it is probably the best attraction there.
