Hiking BEN LOMOND in Winter | Queenstown, New Zealand
The Ben Lomond Track rewards trampers with spectacular 360 degree views over Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountain ranges. The track is approximately 14km return and is classified as difficult.
The track begins among Douglas fir on Skyline Access Road or the Tiki Trail. At about 800 m altitude you leave the tree line behind to enter alpine tussocks and shrubs. Climb to the 1,326 m Ben Lomond Saddle. Beyond the saddle is Ben Lomond Station where the track becomes a marked route. From here, the terrain becomes steeper and rougher as it approaches Ben Lomond's 1,748m summit. If you would like to shorten the hike, you can take the Skyline Gondola up, down or both; this makes it significantly easier on the legs.
Checkout the below video by NZ Mountain Safety Council, this has all the information you will need:

Ben Lomond Summit in Queenstown New Zealand
We tackle the super famous Ben Lomond Summit track! This 14.2KM trail in Queenstown New Zealand was a fairly tiring day hike, taking around 7 hours for us to finish, but that 360 degree view from the peak was worth every ounce of effort!

BEN LOMOND TRACK NEW ZEALAND
The Ben Lomond track is without a doubt the best day hike in Queenstown! Easily accessible from the town’s centre, you can hike all the way to Ben Lomond summit which is 1,748 metres high. With breathtaking views all along the hike and an epic 360 view at the top, we highly recommend Ben Lomond track over Queenstown Hill walk. However, the out and back Ben Lomond track is much heavier with an elevation gain of 1438 meters over 14 kilometres. But, there are several ways to hike Ben Lomond that can wipe 3 kilometres off the trail distance and almost 450 meters off of the elevation. So the question really is how long or short do you want to hike? This video will give you an impression of the track and of course the summit.
In our complete guide on you’ll find all the information you need to know about Ben Lomond track and the different options to do this hike from Queenstown.

Queenstown Day Hike / Ben Lomond summit via Saddle Track, New Zealand
The Ben Lomond saddle & summit is an achievable, one-day hike in Queenstown. First, we took the Tiki Trail, from Brecon Street to Queenstown Skyline Gondola, grabbed coffee & food, and then followed the Ben Lomond signs to the summit top at 1748m.
Watch Chris & I get up close & personal with two cheeky Keas (the NZ parrot) at the summit. I recommend you pack plenty of water, a good windbreaker & your camera. A hike to just the Ben Lomond saddle on a clear day will provide equally stunning views over Lake Wakatipu and those that have the required fitness will reach the summit approx. one hour if they continue. Be sensible & be safe outdoors.

BEST hike in Queenstown: Ben Lomond Track
Get yourself to the top of Ben Lomond when you're in Queenstown! It will take you a full day, but you can also take the first part up the mountain by gondola. The last part of the hike can be challenging, but you will have the best panoramic views from the top. With a bit of luck you will spot world's only alpine parrot. Watch your bags though, it's a cheeky one!

Queenstown | Hiking Ben Lomond!
Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island is a fantastic place to visit summer or winter, with its beautiful lakefront position, surrounding hills and mountains and great activities for visitors. We spent a few days here and did plenty of tramping, including up Ben Lomond (1748m). We also ate at the famous Fergburger, took a spin on the Shotover Jetboat and soaked in the hot tubs at Onsen Pools.

Ben Lomond Track -- Queenstown, New Zealand -- [TREKSNAPS]
Ben Lomond Track (via Tiki Trail) is a demanding days walk starting from the Skyline Gondola in Queenstown up to the summit of Ben Lomond at 1,748 meters above sea level. The walk itself is not too technical other than the last few kilometers near the summit, and special care and equipment (crampons, alpine equip) should be taken during the colder seasons when there may be a lot of ice and snow covering the track. The track is tiring, however, as you gain 1,438 meters in elevation from the start on many steep grades through beautiful forests and bushland. As you can see in the video, the views are incredible.

Hike to the summit of the Ben Lomond in Queenstown, New Zealand. While you can take the gondola which cuts like 2 hrs of the hike, I have opted for going the entire route - from the shore of the lake, where my hostel in Queenstown was. Enjoy :)

Ben Lomond: Catch the BEST views in New Zealand! ????????
Ben Lomond summit track is not for the faint-hearted. It requires an altitude gain of over 1400m on the day. Remember that you'll have to drop all that elevation on the way down too. So brace yourself for strenuous exercise... and for the best views in Queenstown!
New Zealand Queenstown Ben Lomond Track | Best Single Day Tracking Course in South Island
Hey guys, this channel is run by mum(who shoots the videos) and daughter(who edits) and we deliver NZ's best travelling spots.
Our 10th video is about “Ben Lomond Track” that’s located in the middle of Queenstown over in South island.
A lot of people may already know about Queenstown Skyline Gondola, the luge, and other activities that you could do up there.
But not a lot of people know about this Ben Lomond Track that starts up at the Skyline.
And this is one of the Top 3 single day tracking course in South Island. (According to my mum, it’s the best one)
Have a look at the video to see if you know everything about Queenstown.
And let us know what you think ;)

Ben Lomond Track - Queenstown
The Ben Lomond Track is one of Queenstown's highlights when it comes to hiking. It's a 5 to 8 hours return climb to the summit. The track is well maintained and easy to walk but there's a 1500m+ elevation gain to tackle. Keep daylight hours in mind when walking in winter. Combined with the Tiki Track which starts at the lower cable car station you don't need transportation to the trail head when staying in Queenstown city centre.
Distance: 14.3 km return
Min/max. elevation: 354 m / 1'728 m
Elevation gain/loss: +/- 1'512m
