Queenstown Hill Walkway
HIKING
The strenuous trek up 900m Queenstown Hill takes two to three hours return. Access is
from Belfast Tce.
Ben Lomond Track
HIKING
The track to the summit of Ben Lomond (1748m, six to eight hours return) is a steep
tramp requiring a high-level of fitness and shouldn't be underestimated. Snow and ice
can make it even more difficult; in winter check at DOC or the i-SITE before setting out.
It starts by following the Tiki Trail from Lomond Ave.

The hour-long walk up to the top of the gondola is not particularly scenic, but the views
at the top are excellent. You can access the track from either Brecon St or Lomond Ave.
