Ben Lomond National Park is in Eastern Tasmania. It's one of Tasmania's oldest national parks and contains one of two skifields in Tasmania.
Ben Lomond was declared a National Park and Scenic Reserve in July 1947.
Ben Lomond is Tasmania's only downhill skiing area. It offers skiing from approximately July to September (check the snow report ) and day walks in summer.
According to Tasmania's Parks & Wildlife Service, Ben Lomond National Park is invaluable for the conservation of the flora communities and species diversity of Tasmania's alpine areas.
Located 50 km south-east of Launceston, Ben Lomond National Park is accessible via the Blessington Road (C401) near Upper Blessington. Wheel chains must be carried between June and September - they are not available on the mountain, but can be rented or purchased from outlets in major centres.
If travelling at night, please watch out for native animals!
During the ski season McDermott's Coaches provide a daily shuttle service to and from Launceston. http://www.mcdermotts.com.au/
Also, a shuttle bus service runs from the snowline to the top car park daily within season. The service starts from around 9AM daily in season and is a great option if you prefer to leave the snow chains at home. (Adults $12, child/concession $8).
Only places to eat at the hotels.
