Welli Hilli Park essentials

Address: Hoengseong, Gangwon, South Korea

Welli Hilli Park opened in December 1995 (formerly Hyundai Sungwoo Resort) and was renamed after a change of ownership in 2012. The resort sits on the north face of Suri-bong, whose summit reaches 896 metres above sea level, and the ski domain is arranged down the mountain slopes.

The resort was part of the wider Pyeongchang-area winter-sports development and figured in Pyeongchang’s early Olympic bidding plans as a venue for sledding and snowboarding events. In recent years it has also hosted novelty events such as a robot skiing competition in 2018.

Visiting Welli Hilli Park feels like a compact mountain resort rather than a large resort town: the runs are concentrated on the hillsides and Dunnae Station provides direct rail access nearby, while another major resort, Phoenix Pyeongchang, lies across the adjacent Dunnae Tunnel.

  • Suri-bong summit and north-face views: The top of the resort is Suri-bong (896 m), and the north-facing slopes offer mountain views and good snow retention in winter.
  • Dunnae Station arrival scene: Arriving at Dunnae Station gives a clear sense of the resort’s railway access and compact mountain setting.
  • Adjacent Phoenix Pyeongchang (from a distance): You can see the neighbouring Phoenix Pyeongchang resort across the Dunnae Tunnel and assess alternative terrain in the area.
  • Family and beginner slope areas: The resort layout includes gentler runs and beginner-friendly terrain popular with families and learners.

Shoulder seasons
March - April, September - October · -4°C - 21°C (25°F - 70°F)
Late winter melt and early autumn offer quieter visits and clearer mountain views, though skiing opportunities are limited outside the core winter months.
Summer (monsoon)
June - August · 13°C - 26°C (55°F - 79°F)
This period brings warm weather and high rainfall from the East Asian monsoon, so it is not suitable for winter sports but can be used for low-key mountain walks on dry days.
