About Cable Cars In Korea We don’t actually know why, but Korea is crazy for cable cars. You can find long and short-track cable cars, over water and up mountains. What they all have in common is an easy way to capture a stunning view. Cable cars in South Korea go by many a few names. They may also be called “cable tracks” or “rope tracks.” You will need to search by all of these names to capture the full scope of how many exist across the country. South Korea’s Famous Cable Cars There are some cable cars that are more popular with international tourists than others. It’s important to note that international travel bloggers and fancy Instagrammer folks are going for grandeur and style points. Three favorites of fancy bloggers include: South of Seoul volunteers include a lot of aging hipsters, millennials, and permanent residents who love “off the beaten path”, weird, and random activities that take you to surprising places you never thought you could explore. That’s why we have included many cable cars you have never heard of in South Korea. The Best Season for Cable Cars in Korea There is no best season. We have taken cable cars year-round and felt the stunning awe of Korea’s natural beauty. Winter means fewer people and a place to enjoy a view in comfort. Spring allows you to see the expanse of blossoms. Summer shows views of stunning green landscapes. Fall, of course, brings views of a colorful carpet of leaves. You really can’t go wrong. Planning a Cable Car into Your Korean Itinerary Most cable cars aren’t open very late. Often they will run from around 9am to 5pm. You will need to show up about an hour before closing time to have a good chance of getting a trip in since you will want to ride to the top, take a look around, then come back down. Remember that any famous cable cars may have very long waiting times on the weekends and holidays. You may have to purchase your tickets and then chill for up to an hour. For example, if you want to get a ticket for the Seoraksan Cable Car in the fall you better be there when they open. The traffic to Seorkasan is going to be an absolute beast, then you are going to have to wait for tickets, and then wait for your turn to get on. Get there early! 15 Best Cable Cars Beyond Seoul in South Korea We aren’t saying travel just for cable cars, but we recommend tagging one onto any trip.
