As one of the global geoparks, the area of Mt Paektu, 2 750m above sea level, is a characteristic combined mountainous tourist resort. It has many facilities for sports tourism such as Pegaebong Skiing Ground, Ice Hockey Rink, Speed Skating Rink and Samjiyon City Stadium.

The altitude of the Pegaebong Ski Resort is very appropriate for skiing, and the surrounding thick forest and fresh air add more to the scenery.

According to an official of the resort, high-performance snow guns and snow-grooming vehicles are always on standby in case of little snowfall. In addition to skiing, skating, sledging and other sporting activities are also available to the delight of the visitors.

Skiing is a favourite event for professionals, visitors and tourists alike. They can enjoy alpine skiing, skiing tour, cross-country skiing and ski jump, training themselves both physically and mentally.

Visitors have a good time at the Ice Hockey Rink and the Speed Skating Rink. They can play a variety of sporting events such as table tennis, football, volleyball and track and field at the Samjiyon City Stadium.

Today an increasing number of visitors are descending on the area.
