Jeju Olle Offers Hourly Safety Calls for Solo Hikers

People walking the Jeju Olle trails alone can now arrange hourly safety check-in calls through the Jeju Olle Call Center before they begin their hike.

Hikers who submit their itinerary in advance will receive calls at one-hour intervals during the walk. If the call center cannot reach them, it will notify the course operations team at the Jeju Olle office. If contact remains lost for more than two hours, the office may ask police to conduct an emergency rescue, depending on its assessment.

Jeju Island said on the seventh that it would strengthen information about the service after recent missing-person cases on the island. The call center also provides route recommendations, transportation information for trailheads and endpoints, detour guidance when routes change or close, and information about accommodation, amenities and Olle events.
