Hallasan in winter: which trail to pick, how to book the summit with just an email, and the 11:30 cut-off
The winter (October–March) gate times, what to do when summit slots sell out, and the buses to each trailhead
You need a booking only for the summit section of Seongpanak or Gwaneumsa, and you can make it with an email address. In winter you must pass the 11:30 gate, so start by about 8:00. If summit slots are gone, Yeongsil and Eorimok need no booking.
