Highlight

It holds Tasmania's only alpine ski field, on a plateau ringed by The Organ Pipes, volcanic dolerite columns

Declared in 1947, Ben Lomond holds Tasmania's only alpine ski field, set on a raised plateau ringed by The Organ Pipes, imposing vertical columns of volcanic dolerite that recall the pipes of a church organ, formed by the slow, even cooling of a magma intrusion some 170 million years ago.
