#3 Alpensia Ski Jumping Centre

The 7 Stadiums Available In PyeongChang!

This stadium is known as the symbol of 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic. Originally, it was built to hold the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2018 Winter Olympics but later on was decided to have them at the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium instead. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful stadium to visit. We highly recommend going up to the lounge and check out the view from the viewing deck. See more info here.
