Physical Challenge

Walk in the parkTough

This is a significant physical challenge requiring a high level of fitness and endurance. Expect long days, steep ascents, and minimal rest.

Experience Required

Hill WalkerMountaineer

No technical climbing is involved, but previous hillwalking experience is highly recommended to ensure you're comfortable on uneven and steep terrain.

Comfort Level

BasicComfy

Accommodation before the challenge is not included. Expect to be sleeping on a bus between peaks.

How to Prepare
You'll need a good level of fitness. Training in the months leading up to the challenge is necessary. Getting out into the hills to get used to high ground and uneven terrain will pay dividends. Hill walking, cycling, and swimming are all great activities to boost fitness and endurance. We'll send a full training guide after booking.

How Hard Is This Trip?

The National Three Peaks Challenge is a tough undertaking, both physically and mentally. It involves 23 miles of walking and 3,064m of ascent within 24 hours. The pace will be moderate to fast, with minimal breaks. While you don't need technical skills, a good level of fitness and hillwalking experience is essential. The biggest challenge for most is sleep deprivation and keeping morale high. Our expert guides are there to support you every step of the way, but be prepared to dig deep!
