The Ben Lomond Track is located near Queenstown in Otago, with an elevation gain of 1,438m and on a clear day, spectacular panoramic views at the summit. Contouring along the side of the ridge walk through the pleasant cool forest before ascending to a landscape of alpine tussocks and shrubs as you climb to the Ben Lomond Saddle. Many people choose to finish the hike here, but if you are up for the challenge, the summit is not disappointing, as it features magnificent panoramic views over Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountain ranges. When you have spent time admiring the incredible views, it is time to retrace your steps and come back down Ben Lomond. 

The Ben Lomond Track is 11 km walking distance return via same track. 3-4 hr to Ben Lomond Saddle, 6-8 hr to Ben Lomond Summit.
