Ben Lomond National Park is more than just a winter ski destination. Below the snow lies a stunning alpine landscape filled with an abundance of unique native wildlife. With plenty of walking tracks to enjoy year-round and only an hour away from Launceston, Ben Lomond is the perfect place for a day trip as the weather warms up.
