Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond is in the northern midlands, a 1.5-hour drive from Launceston, and one of Tasmania’s two snowfields; the other is Mt Field.

During the snow season, every vehicle climbing the mountain must carry snow chains and fit them when directed; This is a requirement under the law.

If you want a stress-free ascension, you can park at the lower car park and take the shuttle bus to the top. The ‘bus’ is a ten seater 4WD, and you’ll be in capable hands; this will be the easiest option for most.

Full gear hire is available at the mountain, including skis, boards, sleds, and snow clothes. Ben Lomond is also accessible outside of Winter. There are several walks and trails to be enjoyed. You can check the mountain cameras for Ben Lomond here.
