Three Peaks in 24 Hours Challenge

Over the course of the challenge, we'll tackle the highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – all within 24 hours! The challenge also includes around 470 miles (750 km) of driving between the mountains.

We’ll head to Scotland on Saturday and spend the night at the foot of Ben Nevis, taking in spectacular views of the mountain. Early on Sunday morning, we'll begin our ascent of Ben Nevis, continue to Scafell Pike for an evening climb and finish with a night-time ascent of Snowdon to complete the challenge!

This is a demanding event, and participants must have a high level of fitness, capable of hiking for up to five hours per climb at a strong and steady pace. Each route will be guided by a highly experienced Mountain Leader who has successfully completed the challenge many times before. Throughout the journey, we’ll travel by private minibus with two professional drivers, ensuring safety and comfort between each peak.

Are you ready to push your limits and conquer the Three Peaks? 🏆

This trip is limited to just 13 participants – reserve your spot early! This incredible experience will only be offered once in 2026. We’ve specifically scheduled it for June to take full advantage of the long summer daylight.
