Hallasan Summit and Olle Trail Hiking

Stay in Seogwipo, climb Hallasan to Baengnokdam Lake, and walk Olle Trails 7 and 10 plus the Seongsan coast.

A hiking route based in Seogwipo. One day you climb Hallasan, either as a round trip from Seongpanak or up from Seongpanak and down via Gwaneumsa Temple. Two days you walk the Oesukam section of Olle Trail Route 7 and the Songaksan to Sanbangsan section of Route 10. On the last day, climb Seongsan Ilchulbong before returning to the airport. Buses reach every stop, making this suitable for fit hikers. The summit day sits in the middle so the schedule can be adjusted if it rains.

Winter summit attempts require crampons and earlier trail entry cutoffs. The rainy season and typhoon season often close the mountain.
