[2025 Jeju Attraction] Travel Guide for Hallasan Seongpanak (Updated Apr)

I didn't even know how to climb a mountain, but I vaguely wanted to see the view from the top of Baeknokdam on Mt. Halla and get a certificate of accomplishment, so I took on the challenge~! It took a long time, but the difficulty level wasn't that high. I went on a day with bad weather, so I couldn't see Baeknokdam, but it's a mountain worth climbing ㅎㅎ ⛰Hallasan Climbing - Seongpanak Course 6:50AM~2:30PM Time required: 6:05 minutes Break time: 1:35 minutes #Hallasan #Jeju Island Travel #Hiking Course

Hallasan Mountain is in the center of Jeju Island. It is also called Mt. Yeongjusan, meaning “mountain high enough to pull the galaxy.” The first glimpse of a beautiful scarlet sun rising in the east can be caught from here, and the blazing sunsets are likewise spectacular. Hallasan’s volcanic activity millions of years ago is what created its home, Jeju Island, and the top of this shield volcano is also the highest peak in the country. There is a national park surrounding the summit, and the area is deemed a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Hallasan is extremely beautiful in autumn. The leaves of the trees turn into magnificent red and yellow color. In early and mid-November, the red and yellow leaves covered by snow near the top of the mountain.

At the end of March, I visited the summit of Hallasan Mountain, where the snow has not yet melted! To reach the summit of Hallasan Mountain 1. Seongpanak Course 2. Gwaneumsa Course There are two courses, but you must make a reservation for Hallasan exploration in advance to enter. (Seongpanak maximum 1,000 people per day, Gwaneumsa maximum 500 people per day) * Reservations can be made one month in advance * Hiking time: 9 hours round trip (based on Seongpanak) [Things to check] ☆ You must apply for a climbing certificate at the summit to receive it after descending ☆ Crampons are required as of the end of March ☆ There are restrooms only at Jindallaebat Shelter and Sokbat Shelter ☆ Bring plenty of light snacks like chocolate bars that you can eat often It is such a beautiful hiking trail, so everyone, please have a safe and enjoyable hike and come see the beautiful Baekrokdam~~!! #Jeju Island #2024WishEvent#Hallasan #HallasanSeongpanak #Jeju Island Travel

This is the path from Seongpanak to Gwaneumsa on Mt. Halla Bring crampons, gloves, and winter clothes to experience the snow kingdom before spring comes~ It's so beautiful You can make a reservation in advance and climb~

I hiked for a total of 8.5 hours to reach the top of hallasan and to come back down, unfortunately my battery died so I couldn’t take pictures at the peak 😭😭😭 Getting There - Take bus 151 (goes around the city) and stop at Hallasan (Seongpanak Trail) Food - there isn’t a snack bar along the hike so I recommend bringing gimbap, plenty of water and some candies to keep you going on this hike *you’re only allowed to hike the Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa trail with a reservation (free of charge). So I’d say my physical condition is pretty good since I hit the gym, the Seongpanak trail is a mix of flat grassy steps and rocky terrains, so please wear good hiking shoes! If you’re taking the Seongpanak trail, please know that you’ll be seeing trees throughout the whole hike only so it’s pretty repetitive and might be less rewarding. I’ll try taking the Gwaneumsa Trail the next time for a more scenic route. I hiked to the top of the mountain alone simply because there were lots of people on the trail. Since it’s winter, you would really need crampons (spikes on shoes: can buy in decathlon!) for the hike, otherwise you won’t be able to climb without slipping. There’s two stops (shelters) you can take a break in for the Seongpanak trail, they have toilets but not necessarily a place to refill water or wash your hands so please be aware!! Overall the difficulty of this hike would be 6.5/10 as an active person. It wasn’t too difficult but it requires a lot of walking!! Hope you guys try this out on your trip to Jeju next!!

We climbed up to the peak using Seongpanak Trail, going up was easy and smooth until you almost reached the peak. The wind was very very strong, almost blew me away and it was really cold up there, perhaps due to the altitude. We didn't queue to take photo with a big rock (with the name) up there as the queue is too long. Locals brought ramen cups with hot water and coffee and they enjoyed resting there. Going down was tough, took us 30minutes more. But don't mind trying it again! #hallasan

Korea's highest peak 6:45 AM Start of the climb 10:15 AM Reached the summit 2:00 PM Descend Going to Seongpanak Songpanak Course Going back to Gwaneumsa Gwanunsa Course Started from the first bus from the bus terminal We took a 5-10 minute break every time we reached the square As a result, we were able to descend with plenty of time to spare It was raining at the beginning, but the weather was good in the second half. In the beginning, we were in the forest all the time → After the view opened up, it was all stairs It was muddy, so the descent was harder There is only one bus per hour from the exit of the Gwaneumsa Course to the city, so you need to be careful about the return time. #Jeju Island Seongpanak Seongpanak

Mount Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea. Hallasan is divided into seven different hiking trails, but only Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa lead to the summit of Baekrokdam, where the crater lake is located, that's why I choose Seongpanak (9.6 km) to go up and Gwaneumsa (8.7 km) to go down. Seongpanak is the longest Hallasan trail, and takes four and a half hours one way. Gwaneumsa is one of the most scenic trails on this mountain, and takes about 4 hour, but because of being exhauted from the trip up I took longer than normal. But I had time to look at the beautiful scenery. Use a backpack, a good pair of shoes, and bring water and food for energy. It's best to have a companion, but it's okay to go alone, I went alone and enjoyed the journey to the fullest.

If you visit Jeju Island in the winter, I recommend climbing Seongpanak, Hallasan Mountain, which has a beautiful snowy mountain scenery. I went to Seongpanak and came down to Gwaneumsa Temple, and Gwaneumsa Temple is definitely more difficult ㅎㅎ;; On this day, we had a light snack at the Jindallae Shelter, and everyone was eating ramen, and it looked so delicious... You must bring ramen!!ㅋㅋ These days, you need to make a reservation to visit, so you should make a reservation a month in advance to ensure a spot. #Hiking #Seongpanak #Hallasan #Gwaneumsa #HotPlace

This time, it's a real Hallasan climbing posting Hallasan climbing the Seongpanak course How beautiful is the view!! Of course, it's a difficult and boring path And.. I went without knee pads And I'm sad that my knees were broken ㅠㅠ Actually, the real purpose of this posting Is that native chicken ㅎㅎㅎ My favorite native chicken restaurant in Jeju Island Dorigol Native Chicken You must try the chicken breast shabu-shabu #Hiking #Native chicken #Hallasan

I went on a course that goes down to Seongak Park while climbing Seongakpan. The slope is not high, but due to the characteristics of the region, the shapes of the stepping stones are all different ㅠ That's why it was more difficult to go down. However, the weather was really good, and the scenery was so breathtaking that the moment I saw it, I felt like I couldn't breathe. It's hard to explain in words except for seeing it in person. I hope you try it. But on a day with good weather! You won't regret it! ^^ #Hallasan #Hiking #Seongakpan #Best scenery #No regrets

Yesterday, I went to Mt. Hanna via Seongpanak because the weather forecast said it would be nice. The slope is gentle, so you could say it's a beginner's course, but it wasn't an easy path at all because of the rocky nature. Still, the closer you get to the top, the more difficult it is to climb, and the more beautiful the scenery is! It's been raining recently, so there's a lot of water in Baekrokdam, and the sky is so clear!! I'm finally getting drunk on the beautiful scenery after a long time! It's hard to climb any mountain, but why not try it on a day with good weather? You won't regret it! ^^ ###
