Description
The Guided National Three Peaks is ideal for individuals and small groups. We bring together people of similar fitness levels to tackle the challenge as a team, supported by professional mountain guides throughout.
You'll travel and walk in groups of around ten, led by experienced guides on each mountain. We follow a 24-hour itinerary - and most groups complete the challenge within that target.
Please refer to our National Three Peaks event kit list for mandatory requirements.

Please note that while we will aim for the above schedule, this can be affected by weather, traffic and other elements, which may cause delays.
Cut-off points may need to be applied, to ensure the safety of all participants, and to prevent overrunning the itinerary.
In severe weather, the event team may alter the route or use an alternative mountain where this is safer and logistically practical. This decision is made by the guides based on conditions such as high winds, lightning risk, visibility and participant safety.
