Did you know that the Winter Youth Olympic Games 2024 will be held in Gangwon-do, South Korea early in the new year?
Once again the beautiful province of Gangwon is host to an Olympic winter event. It has been five years since the Winter Olympic Games 2018 were successfully held in South Korea and the area is already fully equipped for winter sports activities on an international scale with state of the art facilities.
Gangwon is located on the East Coast of South Korea. In the summer season the beaches are bustling with families and young people escaping the city heat by cooling off in the sea. Continuing into the fall when the trees turn their leaves, the mountains are packed with thousands of hikers marbling over the beautiful wonder of nature. In the winter, the area is full of locals and visitors enjoying the ski slopes. Gangwon province offers something for every season.
Just like the 2018 Winter Olympic Games the Winter Youth Olympic Games 2024 mainly take place in Pyeongchang and Gangneung cities while Hoengseong and Jeongseon will host ski events. Tickets for the opening ceremony are on sale right now while access to the sports events does not require a paid ticket. Let GoWonderfully assist you with transport, reservations and accommodation.
