Samaksan Cable Car

Unclaimed

A must-try especially at sunset. Super long journey. Has great view at the top. Didn't go to the skyview deck cause it will require a hike. Has cafe, ice cream store and toilets at the top. They will let you have your own cable car with your group if there are not a lot of customers.

An absolutely breathtaking experience! The Chuncheon Samaksan Cable Car (춘천 삼악산 호수 케이블카) offers some of the most stunning panoramic views in Korea. As you ascend over Uiamho Lake, the scenery unfolds before your eyes—crystal-clear waters, lush mountains, and the vibrant cityscape of Chuncheon in the distance. The glass-bottom cabins take the experience to another level, giving you the feeling of floating above the lake. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a spectacular 360-degree view of the entire region, with seasonal beauty that changes throughout the year—cherry blossoms in spring, deep green forests in summer, fiery foliage in autumn, and snow-covered peaks in winter. The ride itself is smooth and relaxing, perfect for taking photos or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or just looking for a memorable experience in Chuncheon, this cable car ride is an absolute must!

The longest cable car in Korea offers a breathtaking journey to the mountain's peak, providing a stunning panoramic view of Chuncheon city. The ride takes approximately 20 minutes one way, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the scenic surroundings. The cable car does not operate on windy days for safety reasons, so checking the weather in advance is recommended. On weekdays, there is usually no waiting time, making it a smooth and convenient experience. However, wait times on weekends vary depending on the crowd. At the summit, visitors can enjoy the observation deck with spectacular views, making it an ideal spot for photography and relaxation. For those looking for a discount, booking through Naver offers a great deal. This cable car is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience nature and breathtaking city views from above.

First floor is a small enclosed place with a free roaming capybara, sheep & tortoises. Some cute groundhogs, guinea pigs, reptiles (including a chameleon & iguanas). What I preferred was on the #03, buying a meal or drink entitles me to sit in the aquacafe where there's a whole entire hall of fresh water fishes (arowana, catfish, pacu & so on). A great place to just relax & enjoy.

Good experience. We chose the Crystal Cabin which was KRW 6000 more. The floor isn't that clear so if you're scared of heights, it will still be ok.
