Looking for an unforgettable snow experience in Tasmania? Discover Tasmania Tours offers a guided Launceston snow skiing tour to Ben Lomond National Park — one of Australia’s most scenic alpine destinations, located just 60km from Launceston city centre.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor to the snow or a seasoned skier, this half-day tour makes getting to the mountain easy, affordable, and stress-free. Departing from Launceston CBD at 8:30am, you’ll be transported in a comfortable 4WD vehicle specifically equipped for alpine conditions, with National Park entry fees included in your tour price.

At the summit of Ben Lomond, you’ll find the charming ski village sitting at a top elevation of 1,572 metres. During peak season — which typically runs from mid-July through September — up to six lifts operate across the mountain, servicing runs suitable for all skill levels. Whether you want to ski, snowboard, toboggan, or simply build a snowman and soak up the crisp alpine air, Ben Lomond has something for everyone.

New to the snow? No problem. Equipment hire and beginner ski and snowboard lessons are available on-mountain, so you can arrive with zero experience and still have an incredible day. First-timers are encouraged to book a lesson at the 10:00am or 12:00pm session to make the most of their time on the slopes.

This Launceston to Ben Lomond snow tour is perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers who want to experience the magic of the Tasmanian snowfields without the hassle of self-drive access up the famous Jacob’s Ladder road. Priced from just $220 per person, it’s an exceptional-value winter day trip from Launceston.
