For a first visit to Pyeongchang, choose a base around Jinbu / Daegwallyeong / resort areas, then build the first full day around one part of Daegwallyeong · Woljeongsa · mountain resorts. Use Buckwheat noodles · mountain vegetables for meal ideas and leave a second block for whatever interests you most.

Check the link from Jinbu / Pyeongchang, depending on destination before reserving accommodation. Add Gangneung only after the core stay feels comfortable. A shorter list with realistic transfers is easier to enjoy than a route that depends on everything running perfectly.
