Open National Three Peaks Challenge

Events resuming from 15^th May 2021

Our National Three Peaks events have all resumed! Please see our coronavirus latest update for more details and frequently asked questions, and our coronavirus policy for adjustments to our events.

The Open event is the perfect way for small groups and individuals to take part in the Challenge. On these dates, we group together individuals and small groups of a similar level of fitness, to complete the challenge together, with the help of our mountain guides and support staff.

On these Open events, we travel and walk in groups of about ten — made up of existing individuals and small groups of similar levels of fitness. Groups are led at each mountain by our guides.

£349 per person, including a deposit of £70 required to reserve places
