THREE COUNTRIES. THREE PEAKS. THREE DAYS.

The three peaks challenge is widely considered on of Britain's toughest outdoor challenge as well as one of its most stunning treks. Climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon over three days means you will be climbing over 1,500m and trekking for over 25 miles.

As we're not tackling the mountains over 24hrs it gives us the opportunity to take the path less trodden and really experience the stunning views presented on this trip. Think lush rolling hills, breathtaking lakes and fab summit moments.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The three peaks challenge is well suited to fit hillwalkers, capable of trekking for 5+ hours a day, carrying a light (5-8kg) rucksack. On the whole we follow footpaths each day and tackle some hilly, uneven terrain! 

There will be vehicle support during the trip, so a change of clothes is never far away and this helps to keep the packs light. Not sure whether you're ready? No sweat! Drop us a note and we'll be happy to talk it through with you.

"My favorite mountain is the Midi d’Ossau, in the Pyrenees. It is a volcanic and unique mountain, that a stands out from the other peaks around. It is a huge fortress with many different features that provides incredible rock climbing routes, and the most important thing is that is 20 minutes from my house ;)"

IFMGA Guide

"If asked about my favourite mountain or mountain range, it wouldn't be easy to answer since perfect places to climb, ski or explore can be found all over the world. But, if I had to choose one, I think I'd say the Pyrenees, not very high, but wild and still quite unknown: the mountains where I learnt when I was a child and where I can still live great adventures far from the crowd".
