Ben Lomond Track: Alpine Tramping (Hiking) Series | New Zealand
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.

Ben Lomond Summit in Queenstown New Zealand
We tackle the super famous Ben Lomond Summit track! This 14.2KM trail in Queenstown New Zealand was a fairly tiring day hike, taking around 7 hours for us to finish, but that 360 degree view from the peak was worth every ounce of effort!

Ben Lomond summit & saddle track, Queenstown, New Zealand.
The Ben Lomond saddle & summit is a must-do activity if you are in Queenstown for a few days. It’s a challenging 6-8 hour hike & recommended done via the scenic & sheltered Tiki Trail, starting at the Queenstown Gondola terminal in Brecon Street & ends at the Queenstown Skyline Gondola café & Stratosfare Restaurant 324m higher up. Take a breather, here, grab a coffee & food before following the Ben Lomond signs to the top.

Watch Chris & I get up close & personal with two cheeky Keas (the NZ parrot) at the summit. I recommend you pack plenty of water, a good windbreaker & your camera. A hike to just the Ben Lomond saddle on a clear day will provide equally stunning views over Lake Wakatipu and those that have the required fitness will reach the summit approx. one hour if they continue. Be sensible & be safe outdoors.

Summiting Ben Lomond in Queenstown, New Zealand
Hike to the summit of the Ben Lomond in Queenstown, New Zealand. While you can take the gondola which cuts like 2 hrs of the hike, I have opted for going the entire route - from the shore of the lake, where my hostel in Queenstown was. Enjoy :)

BEST day hike in Queenstown: Ben Lomond Track
Get yourself to the top of Ben Lomond when you're in Queenstown! It will take you a full day, but you can also take the first part up the mountain by gondola. The last part of the hike can be challenging, but you will have the best panoramic views from the top. With a bit of luck you will spot world's only alpine parrot. Watch your bags though, it's a cheeky one!

Ben Lomond Track -- Queenstown, New Zealand -- [TREKSNAPS]
Ben Lomond Track (via Tiki Trail) is a demanding days walk starting from the Skyline Gondola in Queenstown up to the summit of Ben Lomond at 1,748 meters above sea level. The walk itself is not too technical other than the last few kilometers near the summit, and special care and equipment (crampons, alpine equip) should be taken during the colder seasons when there may be a lot of ice and snow covering the track. The track is tiring, however, as you gain 1,438 meters in elevation from the start on many steep grades through beautiful forests and bushland. As you can see in the video, the views are incredible.
