National 3 Peaks

The National Three Peaks Challenge is one of the UK’s most iconic mountain challenges, taking on the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales as part of one continuous adventure. The challenge begins with Ben Nevis (1,345m) near Fort William, the highest mountain in the UK. After completing the ascent and descent, we travel south into the Lake District to tackle Scafell Pike (978m), England’s highest mountain. From the Lake District, the journey continues into North Wales for the final mountain, Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon (1,085m). Reaching the final summit is a fantastic conclusion to a demanding challenge involving three very different mountain environments. Across the three mountains, participants will cover approximately 37 km / 23 miles on foot with around 3,000 metres of ascent, in addition to the considerable road travel between each mountain. The traditional National Three Peaks Challenge is often associated with attempting to complete the entire challenge within 24 hours. Whether undertaken against the clock or over a more relaxed schedule, it requires determination, preparation and the ability to keep moving efficiently over demanding mountain terrain.
