Walking the Hallim–Gonae Olle trail with your group

Take both the climbs and descents on Gonaebong and the inland village paths into account. This route is longer than 15-B and has a different difficulty rating, so do not combine the two routes as though they formed a single day's completion.

If completing all of Jeju Olle Route 15-A would be too demanding, choose a shorter section that follows the on-site Olle markers and plan how to get there and back. The moderate difficulty rating does not guarantee that every section is accessible with a pushchair or wheelchair.
