3 Peaks Challenge Mammoth Exploration

3 Peaks Challenge Trip Overview

Rated at three mammoths on our scale, the Three Peaks challenge is three mountains, crammed into an adventure-filled 24 hour period. Starting in Scotland, and finishing up in Wales, you’ll be climbing all three of the UK’s tallest mountains, one straight after the other. Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands standing at 1345 metres, Scafell Pike in Cumbria standing at 978 metres, and finally Mount Snowdon in Wales, finishing up with 1085 metres.

For your Three Peaks trip, as well as our experienced mountain guides, you’ll also have another member of the team present, whose sole purpose is to drive the group. The journey time between each mountain adds up to about 10 hours. This will also be your only rest and re-fuel time, adding to that possibly adverse weather conditions, and climbing through the night – you cannot underestimate the physical toll of this Mammoth Explorations challenge.

The climbing distance totals 26 miles, so if the Three Peaks package is one that appeals to you, you will already need to be relatively comfortable walking in the mountains, and have a good base level of fitness. Again, here at Mammoth Explorations, we want to be able to offer these kinds of trips to all levels of ability, and if that requires a tackling of one mountain first, or a varied and intensive fitness programme, we can tailor something more long term and bespoke to your vision of climbing all three. If this is something you and your group want to do, we’ll find a way to get you there.

If you’re interested in looking at options for this trip, all you need to do is enter your details on our contact form, and one of the team will be able to talk them through with you, and offer support and guidance in preparation.

If you’re a seasoned hiker, and want to add another element of challenge to our Three Peaks trip, we also offer the Twisted Peaks package – if you dare.
