National 3 Peaks in 3 Days

Join the Elite Adventures team for this iconic challenge, regarded as one of the UK’s toughest mountain events. The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales. The peaks are tackled in the following order: Ben Nevis (Scotland, 1,345m), Scafell Pike (England, 978m), and Snowdon (Wales, 1085m).

This fully guided adventure offers stunning scenery, great camaraderie and a serious physical challenge. With daily hikes lasting 6-8 hours, preparation is essential. Perfect for those ready to test their endurance and experience the beauty of the UK’s wildest landscapes – one peak at a time.

Level of difficulty

Each day involves 6-8 hours of walking on steep, rugged terrain and while the pace is more relaxed than the 24-hour version, don’t be fooled, multi-day hiking is demanding and easy to underestimate.
