Ben Lomond National Park
Highlights
Ben Lomond National Park is an alpine wonderland that’s perfect for year-round adventures. In winter, it’s Tasmania’s top spot for skiing and snowboarding. With snow-covered slopes and cosy alpine lodges, it’s like stepping into a winter fairytale!
When the snow melts, the park transforms into a paradise for hikers and rock climbers. The climb up Jacobs Ladder offers jaw-dropping views of the dolerite cliffs and surrounding landscape. You can also spot wildlife like wedge-tailed eagles and colourful wildflowers blooming in summer.
Adult Supervision RecommendedThe alpine terrain and snow-covered areas can be challenging, so it’s best to have an adult with you for safety.
