Best trails in Hallasan National Park

I took Hallasan personally. 4hrs up and 3 hrs down and suchhh a rewarding view on top

14km hike. Beautiful hike in Jeju at Hallasan, especially if you can’t get tickets for the summit hike. Parking is difficult, so get there early. The hike actually started 2.5km earlier than recorded bc of parking lots being full and hiking up to the trail head.

Great hiking trail! The Yeongsil trail starts off with a leisurely ascent through the forest. Later on, however, it becomes quite steep (wooden steps); a bit of stamina and endurance is definitely required here. However, you eventually emerge from the forest and the rest of the ascent offers magnificent views. The path then flattens out at just over 1600 m and continues on a level path. This section offers a great view of the summit of Hallasan! Finally, you reach the intermediate station from where you can begin the descent via the Eorimok trail. This is less steep, but the path is rocky in places. Finally, the trail enters the forest again before you reach the bottom. To reach the bus stop, you have to descend a little further. Other notes: We were there in April 2025 and had to walk over snow for parts of the trail (which wasn't a problem though). The forests were also very dry (but still beautiful, even if there was a risk of forest fires). Summary: Trails in very good condition (mostly wooden paths); well signposted and described; medium difficulty.

Hallasan was a great hike, the views were magical but be aware the weather changes very, very, quickly so take pictures while you can! . The trails are well maintained with several rest stop areas , Loved it!!

Sorry I forgot to put on the All Trails app from the start; anyway, what I did is the Mt Hallasan short hike of 1.3 km one way, quite steep at times. It's well worth it! Even on a cloudy and rainy day like today, we were able to get amazing views from the top and along the way because the clouds were quite high. The track iself is very safe with built sleeper steps - in parts, proper stairs - with anti-sliding strips and rope railings. Unfortunately, as at November 10th we were late for the autumn colours and found the leaves already on the ground. This would be fantastic on a clear day and at least a week earlier in the autumn to catch the coloured leaves still on the trees.
