    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Open the current monthly timetable

      The operator changes closing time by month. Confirm weather operation, final uphill and final downhill boarding on the travel day.

    2. 02
      Choose one-way or round trip

      The current guide publishes both products. Do not buy one-way unless the confirmed walking descent suits the group and daylight.

    3. 03
      Protect the return before exploring

      The cabin ride is about seven minutes, but viewpoints, food, steps and summit paths add time. Turn back for the confirmed final cabin.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    Does Palgongsan Cable Car close at the same time every month?

    No. The current guide directs visitors to a monthly timetable, and weather or maintenance can override it.

    Can I safely buy one-way and walk down without planning?

    No. Confirm a named open route, difficulty, weather and daylight before using a one-way ticket.

    Are the operating details for Palgongsan Cable Car live?

    The displayed guidance was checked August 29, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.

    Can a traveller correct this page?

    Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before leaving Daegu

      Open the current monthly timetable

      The operator changes closing time by month. Confirm weather operation, final uphill and final downhill boarding on the travel day.

    2. 02
      At the lower station

      Choose one-way or round trip

      The current guide publishes both products. Do not buy one-way unless the confirmed walking descent suits the group and daylight.

    3. 03
      At Sinnimbong

      Protect the return before exploring

      The cabin ride is about seven minutes, but viewpoints, food, steps and summit paths add time. Turn back for the confirmed final cabin.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Use the official monthly table on the travel day rather than copying a closing time from a blog or old ticket.
    • Buy one-way only with a named open descent route, suitable shoes, weather and enough daylight.
    • Keep a Donghwasa or lower-mountain fallback that remains worthwhile if wind or inspection stops the cabins.
    • Search “대구 팔공산 케이블카” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
