Ready to take on one of the UK’s toughest and most iconic mountain challenges? The National 3 Peaks will see you summit the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike), and Wales (Snowdon) – all within just 24 hours!
We kick off the adventure with a journey to Fort William on Friday for an overnight stay. On Saturday morning, it’s time to conquer Ben Nevis, before heading straight to Scafell Pike, which we tackle overnight. We then finish strong with a sunrise ascent of Snowdon in the early hours of Sunday.
