The Ben Lomond Track, a 6-8 hour return trip, is a challenging day walk that takes you from downtown Queenstown to the summit of Ben Lomond. The track’s accessibility makes it a popular activity for people visiting the area. However, it’s a tough 1400m climb that ventures into an alpine environment. To safely complete this track there are a few things to know before you go. In this video we take you all the way up Ben Lomond and show you how to prepare a great day out and make it home safely.
