Editor's Pick

Pyeongchang Hanu Village in Daegwallyeong, where your group chooses cuts of Korean beef at the market counter before dinner.

THE FOOD SCENE

For a meal away from the slopes, Pyeongchang Hanu Village lets you choose beef at the counter before sitting down. Hwangtae Hoegwan in Daegwallyeong specializes in dried pollack, from grilled fish to a warming bowl of soup.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Meet for coffee or a drink on the second floor of Dragon Valley Hotel at Dragon Coffee & Bar. For a longer evening together, arrange the trip to Daegwallyeong and choose your dinner cuts at Pyeongchang Hanu Village.
