National 3 peaks challenge

Service Description

The Three Peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) are the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales. The challenge is to climb each of these three peaks, one after the other in a time of under 24 hours. We travel to Fort William on the Friday, starting with Ben Nevis on the Saturday morning, climb Scafell Pike that night and finish Snowdon on Sunday in Wales. This is a challenging event and people participating should have the necessary fitness and go for around 30 hours with little or no sleep. If your aim is to complete the event in 24 hours then we will need to complete Ben Nevis in 5½ hours, Scafell Pike in 4½ hours and Snowdon in 4 hours. The aim for completing your official total time on the event is mountain time plus a fixed 10-hour drive time. You will be supported by one of our qualified mountain leaders with additional leaders (depending on the group size) on each mountain leg of the challenge and a driver will be with you all the way. We have many years’ experiences in delivering this challenge and have been able to fine tune our offering to make it as smooth as possible, like our relationship with our transport provider is top class, we only use VIP minibuses giving you comfortable reclining seats, personal device charging and air conditioning to make it as comfortable for you between stages. We take group safety seriously, all our guides carry 2-way radios and back this up with satellite communication devices (PLB’s) for areas with no cell phone signal, and all our guides are fully insured for leading you.
