A place where you can completely relax and heal in the forest in Hongcheon, an hour away from the city center. It is the first wellness resort and experiential resort in Korea, so you can stay for a day and recharge with mindfulness while digitally detoxing with intentional discomfort! There is also a space where pets can stay, so it is a great place for pets. There are also programs such as a woodworking studio, yoga, and wine for couples. I visited with my family on a trip, so after healing with forest therapy, I talked a lot at the spa and garden music hall & cafe, and had a good time. After that, I slept really well in the well-sleep environment, giving me comfort in my tired body and mind without any worries. ..♥ I went on a short trip to the forest with my family, and I really thought it was a good idea to come as a family trip. If you are thinking of traveling with your parents, I definitely recommend it! . . 📍Healience Seonmaeul @healience_official 122 Jongjasan-gil, Seomyeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do 🚗Parking available 💳Homepage reservation 🕰Check-in 15:00 Check-out 11:00 🛌 Use of Forest-dong Suite Room ▪Up to 4 people for 2 people ▪Digital detox ▪Breakfast, dinner provided ▪Experience program ▪Forest therapy, small tool therapy, spa, jjimjilbang #Unique accommodation #Hot place #Ho-cation #Vacation trip

#FreeAccommodationEvent #LifeShotPlace #WithKids #PlacesToVisitInHongcheon #AlpacaWorld Alpacas that my middle school son and daughter both love.. There are many places where you can meet the cute alpacas, but I think Hongcheon Alpaca World is the best in Korea.. I was worried that the ticket price would be a waste.. but guess what.. The large scale and well-managed size made my worries disappear.. 😄😄 We were worried about the heat that was close to 30 degrees when we entered, but there was a place to cool down, where they sprayed mist in the middle. The alpacas that we met while walking followed us around like dogs if we just held out our hands. ㅎㅎ The Forest Cafe, located at the highest point, is a place that makes you want to take a life shot because it is cool and has a great view. In addition to the alpacas, if you stamp various birds and animals, an hour or two will pass by quickly. It is only natural to get hungry. Now, shall we go find a good restaurant in Hongcheon??❤️❤️

Located in Hongcheon, Vivaldi Park has lots of slopes inside, 12 slopes in total. These slopes are broken up into different difficulties, 2 for beginners, 5 for intermediate to upper-intermediate, 4 for advanced, and 1 for the experts.

#newyearadventure #korea This is the Alpaca World Korea located at the outskirts of Seoul. It is quite a hassle to get there through public transport but the experience is worth it. I’ve joined to a tour in Seoul which includes the alpaca world which was convenient. You get to experience taking a walk with the cute alpacas but be careful as they can be very strong. There are also some small animals for you to visit~

It was famous for its pretty building in the LG advertisement, and it won an architecture award, so it seems that there are quite a few similar building-type accommodations. I heard that the Jeongeup Elli Resort was designed by the same architect, but anyway, it is still a unique and wonderful structure, so I think it might be the best pool villa in Hongcheon💚 The Hill Type has an outdoor spa, and it feels like a forest, so you can really heal just by staying in the room. It is even more healing if you go out to the terrace! It is for 2 people, but it can accommodate up to 6 people, so it would be good for a family trip. There is also a full swimming pool, so it is perfect for a vacation while playing in the water in the summer♥️ - - 📍Hongcheon Yuritreet ℹ️Design building that won the Presidential Award at the Korea Architecture Culture Awards ⏰️Check-in 3pm - Check-out 11am the next day ✔️Room type: Use the Hills room #Emotional Accommodation#Hongcheon Travel

this my first time ski , i look on the tv a ski is very very easily but its is wonderful you can fly on snow like a bear have a wing

#Sheep Ranch If you visit Hongcheon Vivaldi Park, many people will take the lift to the top~ There is a sheep ranch that children like at the top. The sheep ranch is located very high up, so the view is really amazing! The downside is that there aren't many sheep, so no matter how much hay you give them, they won't eat it ^^;; However, you can interact with the sheep grazing nearby :) #It's the best #Baby Park Sheep Ranch #Vivaldi Park #Hongcheon #Hongcheon Sheep Ranch #Places to go with kids #Places to go in Hongcheon

Address: Hongcheon Vivaldi Park Atmosphere/Facilities: ☆☆☆☆☆ Special Reason: Dog-Friendly Resort Average Price Per Person: ₩250,000 Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A dog-friendly room has been renovated and opened at Hongcheon Vivaldi Park, which is adjacent to Seoul. ^^ I visited with half anticipation and half excitement, but I really liked the facilities and the space for dogs. Above all, the playground for dogs was like heaven for our cuties. It's spacious, has lots of friends, and is a great place to run around on natural grass~~^^ The rooms are designed with dark lighting for dogs so that our children's eyes don't get tired, and the floor is also made of a non-slip floor that feels like it will protect their kneecaps^^ However, it's a little dark for people, and even though it's a resort, food is only available in rooms above the Silver Suite, so I definitely recommend takeout or a beef restaurant that allows dogs^^ It's a Korean beef restaurant, but it's a butcher shop, and the price is reasonable. Above all, it was so great to be able to eat and enjoy with our pet dog. I think Sonopet was designed with extra care and attention to pet dogs. I would 10000000 percent visit again. It's a bit pricey, but I'm satisfied because my baby likes it^^ If you're traveling with your beloved pet dog, I highly recommend it^^ #RestaurantExploration #SafeTravel

So fortunate to experience snowing on 16 December 2024 at Vivaldi snow park in the afternoon!

It was negative degree temperature during December, so gotta be prepare to dress up like a dumpling! A family to visit attraction in Seoul if you like to experience snow activities or skiing!

The kids had a great time feeding the Alpacas. We had an enjoyable time here. However, this place may not be suitable for the elderly as you may have to walk uphill. There is a shaded area where those who choose not to walk uphill to sit and wait.

Before entering, there were many dos and don’ts informed by the staff. Regardless of following those set of rules, I was still kicked by an alpaca 🥲 reason? Because i fed another alpaca and not him. Traumatised. Other than that, the place was absolutely stunning located on top of a mountain. There were other animals such as camels, rabbits and birds. Buying the alpaca coins will give you a chance to buy feed for the animals there (not just for feeding alpaca). The place also has steep paths which might be hard for the elderly and those travelling with strollers. It’s best to take your time to stroll around and not rush. There was a fun activity where we collect stamps to win a prize which was fun! Overall, it was a great experience! #travel #familytravel #alpaca #alpacaworld #korea #animals

The lenguaje barrier made it a little hard at first to understand how to get my season pass but the Staff where incredibly helpful, they escorted me to the place and translated everything to their best of their abilities, something that they didn’t have to do but I appreciate a lot the help and how cordial everyone was. The park on itself it’s incredible, the slopes go from beginner to kind of hard but not really if you have been snowboarding/skiing for a long time and have an idea of what you are doing. Overall a great experience and can’t wait to go back this weekend. #travel #snowboarding #familytravel #trip

#alpacaworld seoul is an amazing place, Feed alpacas, play with them while enjoying the beautiful mountain views😀 Alpacas feel like stuffed toys 🧸 Amazing place to visit with kids
