Read on to discover more about the best ski resort in Korea for families, including the options available when you book your Jisan Ski Resort package with VIP Travel.
Korea ski resort nearest to Seoul
One of the reasons this ski resort is so popular is that it is Korea’s ski resort nearest to Seoul. It takes just 90 minutes to get to Jisan Forest Ski Resort from Seoul (sometimes faster, traffic permitting), making it an ideal day trip to escape the city’s hustle and bustle. You also get the added bonus of having some fun in the snow.
When you book our Jisan Ski Resort package, we will take care of everything for you. You won’t even need to worry about transportation, as we provide a super convenient hotel pick-up service and drop-off at Myeong-dong or City Hall in Seoul.
Our complimentary pick-up and drop-off service is the quickest and most convenient way to get from your hotel in Seoul to Jisan Forest Ski Resort.
There is no need to struggle with public transport or risk getting lost in a taxi. All you have to do is get from your hotel room to the lobby, where our experienced tour guide will meet you.
This is why, combined with our pick-up service and Jisan Resort’s close proximity to Seoul, we recommend Jisan Forest Resort as the best ski resort in Korea for families—especially those with young children who can get restless.
Step by Step Ski Lessons at Jisan Resort
Do you love the idea of skiing but haven’t tried it yet? Maybe you’ve been once or twice before but didn’t have much fun because you kept falling face down in the snow? With our ski lessons at Jisan Resort, this doesn’t have to be the case.
Booking our Basic Ski Package option includes a 30-minute ski lesson designed to help you find your feet. This lesson is aimed at complete beginners and is ideal for first-timers and those who may have forgotten the basics.
Those who book our Full Ski Package can take advantage of our two-hour ski lesson. This represents excellent value and will help you enjoy your experience at Jisan Forest Ski Resort even more.
It’s another reason so many visitors book their Korea ski tours with us here at VIP Travel.

The trip was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Kelly is fluent in English and makes it easier for us to communicate. She is very helpful and patient when she taught us how to ski for a first time.

Our ski day trip was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and so much fun. The lesson was excellent—perfectly tailored for our group and made skiing both approachable and enjoyable, even for beginners. Our guide, Gogo, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist, which made the entire day even more enjoyable. The slopes were incredible, and we left with so many great memories. Whether you’re new to skiing or a seasoned pro, this trip is a must. Highly recommend for a fun-filled, stress-free ski adventure!

We had the pleasure of learning skiing for the first time with Go Go, and it was an unforgettable experience. His patience, professionalism, and warm personality stood out throughout the lesson. From helping me adjust my ski gear to providing guidance tailored to my ability, he ensured I felt comfortable and confident on the slopes.
What impressed me most was how attentive he was, not only to me but also to the group. He taught my son so well that, as a first-time skier, my son was able to master skiing and confidently go down the slope, a testament to Go Go’s incredible teaching skills and encouragement.
What makes Go Go truly unique is his ability to connect with people on a deeper level. During our conversations, he shared fascinating insights about nature and food, which resonated with me as a professional pastry chef with a background in culinary arts. His sharing inspired me to re-adapt recipes and explore new creative ideas in my work.
I also learned that during the off-season when skiing isn’t possible, he organizes tours that showcase Korea’s rich culture, nature, and food. His ability to guide people through these experiences and share the beauty of Korea’s heritage is truly remarkable.
For anyone considering skiing in Korea or looking for a guide who offers much more than just lessons, I can’t recommend Go Go enough. Whether you’re a beginner skier or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Korean culture through food and nature, he has the ability to make your journey truly memorable and enriching.

Zhafri Z –
It was my mum and cousin’s first time in Seoul, South Korea. Of the many places we have been to, a tour with Emily to the Jisan Ski Resort was a great one. It was their first time attempting skiing and Emily has been kind and friendly to everyone in the tour and especially helpful and patient in teaching us the basics of skiing. Would recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Seoul and wanting to try skiing for the first time
Denise C –
Fun experience and very accessible for beginners. The instructor was friendly and helpful during our skiing lessons.

Definitely recommend this tour! Jisan ski resort is extremely beautiful and you have more than enough time to explore the many slopes they have to offer. If you’re a beginner, this a great tour to book as they have two spacious beginner slopes. Hero Henry, our tour guide was really friendly and outgoing. He was also patient and encouraging during the lesson time.
陳婷婕 –
Coach Henry’s teaching instructions are clear and easy to understand, and I got started quickly! There were children accompanying us, who were very considerate and helped us so that we would not be in a hurry. He also introduced us to Korean attractions, as well as places to take pictures and eat, which was great! I will definitely look for Henry again next time I go skiing. If you need an English-speaking guide, I highly recommend looking for Henry!

Our Chinese instructor, Crystal, really provided great service. She patiently taught us every skiing move and encouraged us very nicely. Even though we were very scared and had never learned before, we followed her step by step to learn. She can really perform big-A braking and falling movements. I recommend her to be a ski instructor. I will definitely see her again next time I come. Thank you very much!

The challenging slopes made me nervous the moment I stepped on the skis, but when I successfully skied down, the sense of accomplishment was unparalleled. This experience taught me to overcome my fears and embrace challenges. The coach’s careful guidance is an important driving force for my progress. They guided us step by step, allowing me to better understand the skiing skills and gradually master them in practice. Thanks for their patience and professionalism, which made the entire learning process smoother. Overall, this skiing experience not only satisfied my desire for adventure, but also allowed me to experience the joy of learning new skills. I look forward to having more opportunities to integrate into the world of skiing in the future, continue to challenge myself, and enjoy this unique sport.

Coach Gogo is very friendly, teaching seriously and very attentive! He carefully solved our questions, took great care of the students, and understood the students’ learning difficulties. I learned to ski in a very short time! Thank you very much and recommend Gogo as your first ski instructor.

The tour leader is very friendly and tries his best to help the group members

Go Go 👍 It’s my first time skiing and it’s a great experience
From picking us up at the door in the morning to renting equipment, teaching, and actually skiing by ourselves🏂, the experience was great. They also helped us buy tickets to take the cable car in advance🚡. I was very happy to meet Coach Go Go for the first time skiing. I hope I can We’ll see you again if we have the chance in the future

It happened to be snowing when I went to Yongpyong Ski Resort on 12/12. The scenery was amazing. The tour guide Crystal was very enthusiastic and attentive. She took the trouble to guide us beginners. If I still have time next time I come to Korea, I will definitely join the tour again. Today is a great memory for us as a company tour group.

First time skiing and I’m truly glad I decided to with this agency instead of attempting to travel on my own. Everything from fetching us from our hotel to dropping us off at the end of the day was perfection. Special thank you to Nancy for her tips and tricks and overall warmth and kindness. It was truly a pleasure meeting you Nancy, thank you for making our first ski experience an unforgettable one. Will definitely be making use of your services in the future.

My friend and I had never been skiing before and chose to do the Basic Ski Package. I’m so glad we did. Our guide and teacher, Nancy, was very kind and patient with us. She explained everything clearly and gave us good advice for what we should do after the lesson. We enjoyed the trip.
