Olle Trail
Olle trail is the trail of Jeju island. Olle means “narrow alley from main street to front entrance” in Jeju dialect. It began after journalist Seomyeongsuk got impression from Camino de Santiago, Spain. It is supervised by Jeju Olle corporation. Since the first course (from Siheung elementary school to Gwangchigi beach, total 15km) was constructed in 8th, September, 2007, 21 courses have been created until November, 2012. So you can walk around the outskirts of Jeju island. In addition, there are five alpha courses. Each course is about 15km and the total length is about 422km. Generally, it takes five to six hours. Along the coastal area of Jeju, it consists of alley, mountain path, field path, seashore road and oreum. Some courses turn around small islands of Jeju.

Climbing Hallasan Mountain
Seongpanak Parasitic Cone Trail
Level of difficulty★★★☆
Scenery★★★☆
You can feel the atmosphere of forest a lot, but it is hard to climb due to long distance and steep slope. I recommend it to those who are ready to climb Hallasan mountain.
Transportation: Via 5.16 road(toward Seogwipo) from Jeju countryside bus terminal
Contact information: The guide for Seongpanak parasitic cone trail (064-725-9950)
Gwaneumsa Temple Trail
Level of difficulty★★★★☆
Scenery★★★★
It is notorious for steep slope and long distance. Professional mountaineers more visit here than ordinary people since it causes exhaustion of physical strength, 30 percent more than other trails.
However, it shows off the best landscape of Hallasan mountain, so many people climb here again.
Transportation: Bus goes to Gwaneumsa temple. (line No.77 Jedae- Gwaneumsa temple- Tamna Training Institute/ beginning at 6:30a.m., every 40~50 minutes/operated only on weekends and national holiday)
Contact information: the guide of Gwaneumsa temple trail(064-756-9950)
Youngsil Trail
Level of difficulty★★☆
Scenery★★★
It is the shortest course toward Baengnokdam crater lake, so it is easy to climb. But you cannot climb to Baengnokdam crater lake since it is open only to Wisse oreum. You can see the proud of
Hallasan mountain, Youngsil curious rock and Seonjakjjiwat instead. So it is best place for old couples and newlyweds.
Contact information: the guide of Youngsil trail(064-747-9950)
Eorimok Trail
Level of difficulty★★★
Scenery★★☆
There are some uphill roads, but it is easy to climb. In particular, you can enjoy the snowy scene, covered with snow on vast meadow in winter. It is sorry, however, that you cannot see Baengnokdam crater lake since you can only climb to Wisse oreum.
Transportation: Via 1100 road(toward Jungmun-gil) from Jeju countryside bus terminal
Contact information: the guide of Eorimok trail (064-713-9950~3)
Donnaeko Trail
Level of difficulty★★
Scenery★★☆
It is a long course beginning from Seogwipo. After the reconstruction since December 2009, it shows new beautiful landscape to mountain climbers. It shows off dense forest which looks like a jungle of tropical rain forest, and gentle slope. You'd better enjoy vacation in the campground of Donnaeko valley.
Transportation: Ride Jeju countryside bus terminal via 5.16 road(toward Seogwipo), and get off the bus in Seogwipo science high school. One hour on foot. Use No.3 bus from center R to Donnaeko.
Contact information: the guide of Donnaeko trail (064-710-6920~3)
Leisure Sports Travel
Jeju has the sea with 20 degrees all year around, and its ocean scenery is awesome. The sea around Moonsum island and Bumsum island is the best place to enjoy scuba diving.
Reference: Whoever can give a challenge regardless of swimming ability.
You must not miss the chance to exploring Jeju's sea where you can see the landscape 40 meters
below the sea, and wrecked ship in Korea. You should never forget the wonderful submarine topography of Jeju.
Reference: You must prepare medicine for seasickness.
If you want to run vast meadow, you'd be better to enjoy riding in Jeju. The wind of Jeju that you feel on the horse is totally different from others.
Reference: Do not stand in the backside of horse since you can be attacked anytime.
It is thrilling just by imagining that you fly the sky like a bird with cool wind. The imagination can be realized in Jeju.
Reference: Long sleeved shirts and pants are required.
Moreover, you can enjoy jetboat, yacht, parasailing, ATV, cart, hunting in Jeju.
