We originally planned to hike up the Seongpanak Trail, but when we arrived at the carpark around 8am, it was already full. We drove over to the Gwaneumsa Trail, only to find its carpark full as well, so we ended up parking farther away and taking an Uber. Entry requires an online reservation, but it’s free to reserve.

We went up Gwaneumsa Trail which continues as Seongpanak Trail going down after reaching the summit. We started around 11am which was quite late. The Gwaneumsa Trail starts out fairly flat but becomes progressively steeper as you ascend. There are rest stops along the way but no bins.

We reached the summit around 2pm which was just before they start turning you back down the trail if you haven't reached the summit. It was fairly crowded at the summit but the view was great, you can see the most of the island.

Descending Seongpanak Trail it was extremely rocky, slippery and hard to walk on. We managed to reach the end around 4:30pm while taking a short side track to a small lake (10mins).

It took us around 5.5hrs up and down with very few and short rest breaks though it was brutal since we arrived late and had to rush a bit. The whole track is marked out with maps at each rest stop and walks you through the beautiful forrest. This was in May(Spring). Its best to start very early in the morning if you want parking and avoiding the crowd, and also pack plenty of food and electrolytes.

This is the Gwaneumsa hiking trail leading to the Hallasan summit. It is a hard trail. Don’t be fooled by the relatively easy first 3 km. What comes after that is brutal - seemingly endless stairs and rocky paths. You need above-average fitness, good shoes and sufficient supplies (water and food).

The trail is very well maintained, about 30-40pct is boardwalk/stairs. It is also fully marked and no forks or alternative routes so easy to follow. The scenery until the Samgakbong shelter is uneventful but after that you get rewarded with sweeping views of the rocky slopes and valleys.

There are toilets at two spots along the trail but no drinking water.

Early start highly recommended. It took me 7 hours to get up and down again, but estimate that for most people this will take around 8h. You cannot proceed past the Samgakbong shelter after 12:30pm in summer (11:30am in winter) since from there, it is about 75-90 min to the summit and you will need between 3-4h to get back down before sunset. And yes, they do check up there at the Samgakbong shelter and will stop you after that time. Reaching the shelter from the trail head took me 2h30h. So counting on it taking 3h, there is no point getting on this trail after 09:30am (08:30am) if you want to reach the summer.

Until the Samgakbong shelter, the path leads through a forest and is shady. Above the shelter, the forest thins out and for the 45 min or so of summit ascent and descent you will be in full sun if the weather is clear. Being protection (not just sunscreen, also hat and cover - you are at >1800m altitude, UV intensity is 25-30pct higher).

비가 내렸어요. 탐방로는 젖어서 다소 미끄러웠지만 비가 내려서 관찰되는 다양햐 식생들에 놀랐습니다. 나무에 떨어지는 비는 빗 소리가돼요. 자연이 만드는 비의 노래,나무의 노래, 숲의 노래에 반합니다

Un dels dos inicis de la ruta per pujar al volcà hallasan.
Aparcament gran. Informació al accés, però cal portar el permís tret per internet per accedir al camí.

Je suis redescendu du mont Hallasan par ce chemin. Quelques parties un peu raides en haut (crampons nécessaires en hiver, même si personnellement je ne les ai pas portés, c'est une précaution à prendre). La partie du bas monte en pente douce à travers la forêt, quelques beaux paysages mais peu de points de vue à moins d'aller jusqu'en haut. Attention, le check point ferme à 11h30 en hiver donc il faut partir suffisamment tôt.

Amazing, but challenging, hike. It can be slippery at times (mid-December), and it's worth wearing at least a decent pair of hiking boots, although some people just had trainers on. There is a checkpoint midway up that needs to be passed by 11.30am, if you want to reach the summit. The trail is well signposted, and distances between points and the level of difficulty for each section are provided.
