Gangneung is a side-trip idea to consider from Pyeongchang. Compare the outward connection and the last practical return before booking anything.
Leave a buffer between the return journey and any onward flight or train. A guided outing may simplify transfers, but check the meeting point, inclusions, walking demands and cancellation terms. If travel would dominate the day, give Pyeongchang another afternoon instead and explore Daegwallyeong · Woljeongsa · mountain resorts at an easier pace.
The local picture
This mountain region covers a wide area. Match the rail station and last-mile transfer to the specific resort or temple.
