The experience

The Ben Lomond Summit Walk: A Journey to New Heights

As you begin the Ben Lomond Guided Walk, you’ll arrive at the Ben Lomond Saddle, where breathtaking views of Moonlight Station, Mount Crichton Station, and Mount Aspiring National Park unfold before you. 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. On a clear day, you may even be able to spot Westland National Park in the distance. The sense of accomplishment is palpable as you take in the majestic views from the summit.

For the Ben Lomond Summit walk, we recommend guests are comfortable walking up to 6 hours, covering 11 kilometres with an elevation gain of 958 metres (3,143 feet).
