About the event
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the National Three Peaks Challenge, one of the UK's most popular mountaineering challenges. Conquer the highest peaks in Scotland, England, and Wales within 24 hours . Whether you're raising money for charity or seeking the thrill of personal achievement, this iconic challenge offers an unforgettable experience. Covering a total walking distance of 23 miles (37 km) and an ascent of 10,052 feet (3,064 metres), the National Three Peaks Challenge is a true test of endurance and determination.
Our trips run from May to October, with weekend open bus dates for solo travellers and small groups from Friday to Sunday, and mid-week dates from Tuesday to Thursday. For private groups of six or more, please contact us to arrange your adventure. Alternatively, choose the more relaxed three-day itinerary for a comfortable yet equally rewarding experience.
The National Three Peaks Challenge is not just about physical strength, but also mental resilience. Each peak presents its own unique challenges, from the rugged terrain of Ben Nevis to the steep climbs of Scafell Pike and the breathtaking views from Snowdon. Preparation is key, so train well, stay hydrated, and most importantly, enjoy every moment of this incredible journey. The sense of accomplishment you'll feel at the end is unparalleled.
