A notice dated 18 September 2026 on the Hallasan reservation system confirms completion of works between Samgakbong and the Baengnokdam summit on the Gwaneumsa trail. The section reopened at 5 a.m. on 24 September 2026; bookings resumed at 9 a.m. on 21 September. October reservations were already in progress at the time of the notice. Check live status rather than assuming the construction closure still applies.
An official revised-booking notice posted 24 October 2025 says two time windows have applied since 1 December 2025. For the first slot, 5:00–8:00 a.m., the announced booking allocation is 800 for Seongpanak and 400 for Gwaneumsa. For the second slot, 8:01–11:30 a.m., the allocation is 200 and 100 respectively. These are announced quota figures, not the number of places available on any particular date.
Summit hikes via Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa remain subject to route reservations and entrance controls. Severe weather, rockfalls, safety works or special events may change access. After reserving, check the official real-time trail status, your date's entry cut-off and the identification requirements. Reservation enquiries: 064-713-9953.
