VR experience of the Alps (Eiger North Face) and Seoraksan (Nojeokbong)
Soaring above Switzerland¡¯s Bernese Oberland, Mount Eiger (3,970m) is one of the Alps¡¯ most iconic peaks¡ªworld-famous for its Eiger North Face(Nordwand), ominously known as the ¡°Wall of Death¡±. The North Face is a massive vertical wall, approximately 1,800 meters high and 1 kilometer wide. It is notorious for its extreme difficulty and danger due to rockfalls, rapidly changing weather, and steep terrain.
Mount Seoraksan(1,708m), the third highest peak in Korea, is located in Gangwon-do and is renowned for its breathtaking scenery of rugged cliffs and deep vallys.
Among Seoraksan¡¯s many peaks, Nojeokbong(716m) is a favorite rock face among climbers, with numerous climbing routes having been developed.
Experience the immersive sensation of climbing the rock face through VR, and feel the awe of nature alongside the spirit of human challenge!
