    Masik - the best ski resort in Korea

    How to Get There | What is Masik Ski Resort | Masikryong Hotel | Gears| Ski Extension

    In January 2014 the first North Korean ski resort Masik was opened. Soldiers of the Korean People’s Army constructed the resort in only ten months, giving rise to the new slogan "Masikryong speed", which has become a symbol of national pride.

    In Masik you don’t have to ski! Just come to visit hotel, wander the area and enjoy beautiful landscapes without skiing! You may just stop by to take pictures, have a coffee break or have lunch at local restaurant.
