Three Peaks Challenge
Welcome to the home of the Three Peaks Challenge.
The National Three Peaks Challenge is steadily becoming a well-known phrase amongst the more adventurous. This challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains in the UK within 24 hours.
Despite it's growing popularity, no one should under estimate the difficulty of any of the challenges detailed on this website. It is very easy to get lost, particularly on the National Three Peaks and Welsh 3000s, and particularly when mountains need to be climbed in the dark or in poor weather.
The National Three Peaks Challenge is not an organised event - you can do it whenever you like. You do have the option of organising the challenge yourself, or paying to take part in a challenge organised on your behalf. This service can be expensive, and it is perfectly possible to organise your own challenge, given appropriate preparation and planning.

Organising Your Challenge
Many organised versions of the National Three Peaks Challenge are available, but it's also perfectly possible to organise your own group, and complete the challenge with your own group, or even organise a solo challenge. I've now got a guide to organising your own challenge, to help anyone heading up any of the challenges featured on this site.
If you are interested in completing any of the Challenges or walks featured on this website in the future and would like advice or would like to take part in an organised challenge with a guide and driver, please contact us.
Specific information on Snowdon paths has now been moved to the Adventure Athlete website.
