不只雪地之樂,還有更多有趣活動This Korean resort offers fun in the snow and so much more
下個月,你將有機會觀賞奧運滑雪賽事。
看著運動員迅速滑下斜坡也許會讓你躍躍欲試想滑雪!
一個嘗試滑雪最理想的地方就是南韓龍平度假村;據說那是亞洲數一數二的頂尖滑雪勝地。
龍平度假村占地四千三百英畝,擁有二十八條滑雪道,能夠提供每個能力等級一條以上的滑雪道。
初學者可以在緩坡上慢慢滑,高手則能與二O一八年冬奧選手一樣急速滑下相同的坡道。
滑雪行程不會隨著日落而結束;滑雪道在天黑後都會有燈光照明,有些坡道基至能讓湯雪客待到凌晨兩點半!
滑雪季始於十一月中旬,一直持續到翌年四月。
不論滑雪與否,你都可以搭乘發旺山纜車到位於山頂的龍峰小木屋。
從那裡望去的壯麗山景絕對會讓你為之驚嘆屏息一一如果低溫沒先讓你呼吸困難的話!
如果你的滑雪能力允許,就沿著長五點六公里、景色優美的彩虹天堂滑雪道滑返山下;如果不會滑雪,那就搭續車下山。
Next month you will have the chance to watch Olympic skiing events. Seeing the athletes rocket down the slopes may inspire you to try skiing yourself! One of the best places to give skiing a try is Yongpyong Resort in South Korea. It is reported to be one of the best in Asia. Spreading out over 4,300 acres, it boasts 28 ski slopes with one or more for every ability level. Beginners can creep down gentle slopes, while experts can hurtle down the same slopes athletes used in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Skiing doesn't stop at sunset. The ski slopes are lit after dark, allowing skiers to stay on some slopes until 2:30 a.m.!
Skiing season begins in mid-November and lasts until April. Whether you ski or not, you can ride the Mt. Balwangsan cable car to Dragon Peak chalet perched at the top. From there you get a magnificent mountain view that's sure to take your breath away – if the cold doesn't! If your skiing ability allows, travel down the beautiful 5.6 km Rainbow Paradise course to the bottom. If you can't ski, ride down in the gondola.
