Konjiam Resort essentials

Address: Gwangju, Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea

Konjiam Resort is a lift-served ski area set in the forested hills of Gyeonggi Province, within easy reach of the Seoul metropolitan area. It is commonly visited as a day-trip or short-stay destination from the capital region.

The resort operates primarily as a winter sports venue, with groomed runs aimed at a range of skiers and snowboarders and on-site facilities for gear rental and lessons. The complex is sometimes written as Gonjiam in English-language signs and materials.

Outside the peak winter months the slopes are quiet and the surrounding hills offer walks and views over the low mountains of eastern Gyeonggi-do, though facilities and activities are far less extensive outside ski season.

  • Groomed ski slopes: Multiple groomed runs serve skiers and snowboarders of different abilities across the main hillside.
  • Beginner and rental area: A dedicated beginner area and rental services make the resort accessible for first-timers and those without their own gear.
  • Resort accommodation and village: On-site lodging and resort buildings cluster at the base, providing convenient access to the slopes and basic amenities.
  • Hilltop and forest views: From higher pistes and viewpoints you can see the tree-covered ridges and low mountains of Gyeonggi Province.

Late autumn and early spring are quieter times for short stays and hill walks, but snow cover and full resort services are not guaranteed.

  • Weekends and public holidays are much busier - arrive early or plan a weekday visit to avoid crowds.
