Three Peaks Challenge

The Mountain Adventures 3 Peaks Challenge is designed to complete the ascent of the three highest peaks in Britain - Ben Nevis in Scotland, Snowdon in Wales and Scafell Pike in England - in just 24 hours.

Regarded as one of the UK's most challenging team events, this challenge provides the individual and team with one of the ultimate tests of physical endurance and mental stamina.

It is a non-technical mountain challenge that is both tough and physically demanding and ideally preparation training should start 2 to 3 months prior to the event - subject to the individual's basic level of fitness.

However, with the correct preparation this challenge is achievable for anyone in a healthy physical condition with thorough advance preparation and the right mental attitude.

Backed up by a professional support team with qualified outdoor instructors our aim is for you to safely complete the National Three Peaks Challenge within a 24 hour period.

We can provide full support for your challenge or transport only options for pre-organized challenges and offer a choice of ascent/descent routes based on the ability of the group.

We also offer alternative routing options: north to south or south to north itineraries which are designed in accordance with the needs of each group and their geographical location.

This is a serious event, and involves challenging walking, sleep deprivation, and it will provide some amazing memories that will surely last a lifetime!

The Three Peaks is great for team building and/or fundraising.
