The Jeju Olle Trail (Korean: 제주올레길) is a long-distance footpath on Jeju Island, in South Korea. It consists of 21 connected numbered main routes, six sub-routes, and a short spur that connects to Jeju International Airport. On average, the routes are 16 km in length and total 437 km. They mainly follow Jeju's coastline and around its outlying islands, passing beaches, fishing villages, indigenous forest, tourist destinations, and urban centers. The exact length and locations change over time as trails are modified or re-routed. Jeju Olle Trail was envisioned and developed by former journalist Suh Myung-sook. It is named after olle (올레), which are short alleys connecting houses to main walkways in traditional Jeju folk architecture.
