The Ben Lomond Summit Walk: A Journey to New Heights

Take a moment to appreciate the stunning scenery, and enjoy a delicious all-inclusive packed lunch at the Saddle.

For those who dare to reach the summit, the adventure continues. As you climb to the top of Ben Lomond, you’ll be rewarded with an unparalleled 360-degree view of Queenstown and the Whakatipu Basin, as well as Fiordland National Park and Mount Aspiring National Park.
