  • Take on the highest mountains in the UK
  • Climb Ben Nevis as the sun sets
  • As the sun rises take on Scafell Pike
  • Finish your challenge on Walesâ??s infamous peak, Snowdon
  • Aim to summit all three peaks in 24hrs! (not including travel between peaks.)

Your Three Peaks Challenge takes on the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales all within 24hours. The trek covers 40kms and involves 2,984m of ascent and descent.

Your 24hour challenge begins in one of Scotland’s most scenic areas; Glen Nevis Valley. From here you will climb Ben Nevis, the largest mountain in the UK, standing at 1,344m. Your first peak affords spectacular views as you trek into the sunset, then offering an immediate challenge as you trek into night by the light of the moon (and head torches). On descending Ben Nevis you will be driven through the night towards the beautiful Lake District.

Once you arrive in the Lakes you will begin to climb the second of your Three Peaks - Scafell Pike; the highest mountain in England standing at 978m. As you ascend through sunrise you can enjoy fantastic scenery looking down over the hills and lakes of the region.

Your final challenge takes on the highest mountain in Wales; Snowdon, standing at 1,085m. Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa in Welsh, is a national treasure with its unique bio-diversity of plants and wildlife and is a stunning end to the last of your Three Peaks.
