About

The National Mountain Museum is the only museum specializing in mountaineering in Korea, established to promote proper mountaineering culture and preserve mountaineering history. It abundantly exhibits precious mountaineering equipment and relics, ranging from the belongings of Go Sang-don, who first climbed Everest in Korea, to Reinhold Messner's ice axe, and the domestic stove 'Seorak No. 1'.

Various experience programs are also prepared, such as an indoor artificial rock climbing wall and an alpine experience room where you can directly experience an alpine environment. If you go up to the outdoor Haneuljeong-won on the 4th floor, the top floor, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Seoraksan Ulsanbawi Rock and Daecheongbong Peak at a glance, making it a beloved attraction for both hiking enthusiasts and family travelers.
