The National 3 Peaks Challenge with Qualified Mountain Leaders
​
The National Three Peaks Challenge is one of the most iconic and demanding mountain challenges in the UK. The goal? To summit the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales — Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) — all within 24 hours.
This legendary challenge tests endurance, determination, and teamwork, making it perfect for charity fundraisers, corporate groups, and individual adventurers looking for an unforgettable mountain experience.
​
Our National 3 Peaks Guided Challenge
Our National 3 Peaks Guiding Package includes qualified Mountain Leaders on each mountain, ensuring your safety, confidence, and enjoyment from start to finish. With our experienced team managing navigation, pacing, and group safety, you can focus on the adventure itself.
​
Ben Nevis
Scotland’s highest mountain (1,345m) is known for its dramatic weather changes — it’s not uncommon to start in sunshine and finish in snow! The summit plateau can be tricky to navigate, especially in poor visibility, so an experienced guide is essential for safety and efficiency.
Scafell Pike
Often climbed in darkness during the early hours, Scafell Pike (978m) can be deceptively challenging. The rough terrain and limited visibility make navigation difficult, and many underestimate its demands. Each year, mountain rescue teams respond to callouts here — having a guide significantly reduces the risk and keeps your challenge on track.
​
Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa)
The final peak of the challenge, Snowdon (1,085m), is generally straightforward to navigate, but fatigue, weather, and darkness can complicate things. With a guide, you’ll have expert support for pacing, navigation, and motivation to reach the finish line safely and successfully.
If you’d prefer guidance on just one section — for example, the Scafell Pike night climb — we also offer individual peak guiding options.
The benefits of using our guiding package are numerous. You not only get a guide to help you through the mountain stages, but you are not paying extra for the guide's food, accommodation or their time being sat on a bus, unlike many other 3 Peaks Challenge packages.
As well as supplying you with a professional, experienced guide at the base of each mountain, we can also provide:
-
Recommended timings and tactics for the challenge
-
Start Point Information
-
Kit List
-
Recommendations of Transport companies
​
Please note we do not supply transport or accommodation. This is a package of guides only.
