 Poster: A snowHead
|
Having never been to South Korea I thought it might be fun to go over for the Olympics, watch some of the events and ideally combine with a ski trip...but I can't see any travel packages anywhere, which given its only just over a year away (I think) seemed a bit odd.
Of course I may abort this plan if the costs get to crazy...I have no real idea what they are likely to be at the mo!
Is anyone else planning anything similar by chance and has any more info/web links?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Try getting in contact with a sport package specialist like Gullivers
And just make sure you don't mix up Pyeongchang with Pyeongyang...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'd suggest watching the Olympics in Korea, then hopping across to Japan for the skiing.

I did actually see an Air crash investigation episode which suggested the same...but as a mainstream airline I assume their crash stats are pretty good generally!
That aside, are people suggesting Japan because it's good, or because It's impossible to ski during the Olympics?
We're not hardcore skiers by any means, simple blues are fine for us, with that in mind (and the fact we'll be with a 3 year old) is it best to a) simply not bother b) do a 10 day trip, catch a few events and ski if we can or c) a week watching th games and a week in Japan skiing?

I've been to south Korea and it's fascinating but I wouldn't suggest it for a ski trip. They get very little natural snow and the mountains aren't large.

I travel to Seoul Korea a couple of times a year. I stay in the Sheraton Four Points near the main station. Good value and has a coin laundry. The Hethrow flight on BA gets in at 7AM. Don't get this. Try to get flight that lands about 4pm, AND expect 2 days + of jet lag (top tip, sleep with the curtains open to get into the time zone).
Never book breakfast at hotels. Cheaper without. Korea is mid range in price and similar to the UK.
