Jeju Island is an attractive destination in all seasons, but its true face may be best revealed in winter. This is especially true when walking the 'Oreums' (volcanic cones) scattered throughout Jeju. Though the wind is cold and the leaves have fallen, the tranquility, clear skies, and open views offer a profound sense of peace that cannot be felt in other seasons.

The charm of winter Oreums isn't just about the scenery. It's about the changing angles of light along the way, the exhilarating moment when your view expands as you gradually run out of breath, and Jeju under the winter sky that you encounter at the summit. All of this, just from climbing one Oreum, gives you the feeling that even your heart has changed. Best of all, there are fewer people in winter, allowing for a peaceful trek and the chance to fully enjoy your own journey.

Today, Travel TokTok introduces the BEST 4 Jeju Oreums where you can truly feel the charm right now.

1. Geun-Nokome Oreum

Triple

'Geun-Nokome Oreum' is located in the mid-mountainous region of northwestern Jeju, and its tranquility is felt even more deeply when climbed in winter. Compared to other Oreums, it has a gentle slope and well-maintained trails, making it easy to walk slowly. Especially in the early morning, walking along the forest path covered in frost gives you the feeling of walking through a still moment in time.

Upon reaching the summit, you can see the clear ridgeline and the Jeju Sea stretching far away. The cold winter wind brushes past your forehead, but even that wind feels clear and clean, as if washing away your worries. With many trees around, the scenery becomes a winter painting when it snows, covered warmly in snow.

Geun-Nokome Oreum, which is good for spending time alone because there are not many people, is an even more satisfying place for those looking for a less crowded travel destination. As you walk step by step, you can feel your thoughts and emotions calmly 정리 (organized), and it will be a precious time to focus solely on yourself in the embrace of nature.

2. Baegyaki Oreum

'Baegyaki Oreum', located in Seongheup-ri, Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, is relatively less known, but it retains the atmosphere of nature as it is. When you visit in winter, the scenery and tranquility that seem untouched by human hands calm your mind. The 모습 (sight) of eulalia swaying in the wind with a dry color instead of green grass completes the unique atmosphere of winter Oreum.

The path to climb the Oreum is smooth from the beginning, and the climb itself is not burdensome, so you can walk like a light stroll. Although it is winter, there are many sections with good sunlight, so you can walk without feeling cold, and the view widens as you head towards the summit, gradually raising expectations. In particular, the harmony of the sky and fields viewed from the mid-slope is perfect for taking Instagram-worthy photos.

When you reach the summit, the wind is a bit strong, but the scenery of Jeju unfolds 시원하게 (refreshingly) with the fresh air. The scenery of the sea, mountains, and plains together is a winter painting that you can never find in the city. If you are looking for a quiet Oreum that you want to keep to yourself, Baegyaki Oreum is perfect.

3. Yongnuni Oreum

Triple

One of the most beloved Jeju Oreums among travelers is 'Yongnuni Oreum'. Its popularity is no exception even in winter. The gently 이어지는 (connecting) 곡선형 (curved) ridgeline is still beautiful even in the cold season, creating a desolate yet romantic atmosphere. This is why it often appears as a filming location for dramas and advertisements.

In winter, Yongnuni Oreum is impressive with the texture of the land revealed after the eulalia has fallen, and the gently undulating ridgeline under the sunlight. The path to the top is relatively gentle, and the 전망 (view) is excellent, so even beginners can challenge it without 부담 (burden). The time to reach the summit is about 15-20 minutes, but the scenery 담긴 (contained) in that short journey remains long and deep.

From the summit, you can see Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) and Udo Island, and you can face a clearer scenery thanks to the clear air of winter. It is one of the best places to feel the 전경 (full view) of winter Jeju, where the clear sky, clouds, and sea harmonize. If you walk Jeju's 대표적인 (representative) Oreum again in winter, you will discover new charms.

4. Mulyoungari Oreum

'Mulyoungari Oreum' is a unique place among Jeju's Oreums that embraces a wetland ecosystem. In winter, frozen land and a secluded forest harmonize instead of puddles, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Like its name, this place, which 이루 (achieves) the harmony of water and forest, is filled with only the sounds of nature all around while walking, making it perfect for enjoying trekking like meditation.

The forest path 이어지는 (connecting) from the entrance of the Oreum has a distinctly different atmosphere depending on the season. In winter, sunlight breaks through the path where all the leaves have fallen, and the 모습 (sight) of long tree shadows 늘어지는 (stretching) is impressive. When you reach the mid-slope of the Oreum, a section where the ground is slightly frozen appears, and the winter sky 드리운 (hanging) over it leaves a quiet yet deep 여운 (lingering).

The forest, valleys, and the 윤곽 (outline) of the distant sea 내려다보는 (overlooking) from the summit unfold like a ink-and-wash painting. Despite its relatively low altitude, this place presents an overwhelming scenery, making it the most suitable winter Oreum for travelers who want to face nature as it is.
