High1 Hotel

Gangwon-do

LoginSave

One of the cheaper twin-turreted High1 Ski Resort accommodation options, High1 Hotel has a sparkling lobby and spacious, contemporary rooms with views extending over the valley or mountains. It suffers a little from being located a 30-minute shuttle bus ride from the main resort area, but makes up for it with frequent discounts and a gondola to the peak.

Staff speak English and there's an on-site sauna. On-site eating options are rather scarce and expensive – pack in food and drink, or catch the free shuttle to town or the main resort area for dinner.
