Ben Lomond

Despite the somewhat unorthodox name, Ben Lomond is arguably Tasmania's premier ski resort. Located in Ben Lomond National Park (hence the name), it sits some 1573m above sea level.

In total, there are 8 surface lifts, with 6 being run by Alpine Enterprises (3 poma and 3 T-bars) and 2 by Tas Ski Lifts (both Pomas), though it should be mentioned that lift tickets for the two companies are separate.

Still, Ben Lomond offers a full range of facilities to enjoy the winter wonderland. The Village is located conveniently at the foot of the lift systems and in general, the mountain offers good novice and intermediate skiing and snowboarding, and excellent cross-country skiing.

The Ben Lomond National Park and Alpine resort is located roughly two and a half hours drive from Hobart, and 60 mintues drive from Launceston.

Day entry passes can be purchased to drive into the National Park (found at the park entry or at the Creek Inn). Day passes are available andfor details check their website. These fees help provide road clearing services and the further development of the ski field.
