    Hi Chicken Share,

    Good evening to you. I would like to know if there is any bus directly from Gimpo Airport to Alpensia and do I need to make reservation in advance. Beside Ski Purple Bus is there any other bus from Alpensia to Skypark Myeongdong Hotel?

    Thank you in advance.

      Hi Pilot0612,
      Yes, you can take Gangneung Bus from Gimpo Airport to Alpensia. The bus starts at Incheon Airport and will stop over at Gimpo Airport to pick up passengers before going to Alpensia resort. Ski Purple bus will bring you from Alpensia to Myeongdong station which is very near to Skypark Myeongdong Hotel. There may be some private tour bus going from Alpensia to Seoul but I am not sure if they stop in Myeongdong.

      hello 새 라 이
      It depends on the winter season this time but normally it is until early march. The ski resorts will normally announce on the website when the ski and snowboarding season ended.
