Held every January in Taebaeksan National Park and downtown. Features large snow sculptures, sledding, night illuminations, and local food stalls. The festival attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to see the majestic white landscape of the city.

The most iconic activity in Taebaek. The trail from Yuilsa to the summit (Cheonjedan) is relatively gentle and takes about 3–4 hours round trip. It is world-famous for its "frost flowers" (rime ice) on the yew trees during winter.

One of the largest coal museums in the world. It provides a comprehensive look at the history of the coal industry, mining techniques, and the daily lives of miners through realistic dioramas and an experience tunnel.

During the winter, O2 Resort operates one of the longest sledding slopes in the region. It is a popular family activity for those who find skiing too difficult but still want to enjoy the snow.

It was designated as a Gangwon State monument on February 26, 1980, as a limestone cave created by the gradual dissolution of limestone deposited in the ancient Ordovician period in the past hundreds of years in rainwater and groundwater. It is about 843m in length and has a large square with a width of 50 m and a height of 30 m inside the cave. The temperature inside the cave is 9 to 11 °C, and as the only dry cave in Korea, there are no underground water at the bottom of the cave, but there are 5 to 6 limp pools large and small.

The highest railway station in South Korea, located at an elevation of 855m. While regular passenger trains no longer stop here frequently, it remains a popular photo spot for its symbolic altitude and snowy winter scenery.
