Physical Challenge
This is a significant physical challenge requiring a high level of fitness and endurance. Expect long days, steep ascents, and minimal rest.
Experience Required
No technical climbing is involved, but previous hillwalking experience is highly recommended to ensure you're comfortable on uneven and steep terrain.
Comfort Level
Accommodation before the challenge is not included. Expect to be sleeping on a bus between peaks.
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!
