We’ve teamed up with Global Adventure Challenges to bring you the Three Peaks UK Trek (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Mount Snowdon). From the rugged beauty of the Glen Nevis Valley to the forests and estuaries of the stunning Snowdonia National Park, take on the almighty trekking challenge of the UK’s giants on this classic 3 Peaks Challenge! You’ll take on Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Mount Snowdon (1,085m) aiming to summit all three in a total trekking time of 15 hours or less. You’ll climb around 3,050 meters and have walked approx. 40km, so grit and determination are essential to completing this fast-paced challenge. It’s little wonder this challenge is the most highly regarded trekking challenge in the UK.

Meet at Glasgow Central Station/Glasgow International Airport at approximately 12pm for pick up, then head north for transfer to Fort William in the stunning highlands of Scotland.
Enjoy an evening meal together with the group that night and a briefing about the exciting challenge ahead.
After a hearty breakfast, the challenge begins, first up the mighty Ben Nevis standing tall at 1,344m. We begin our trek taking the ‘tourist path’ which uses a zig zag technique to enable a steady climb up the mountain – the walk up should take approx. 3.5hrs, a great warm up to the challenge! As we trek to the summit we will stop for short breaks enabling us to take in the picturesque views of the breath-taking Scottish highlands. Once we reach the summit and take our celebration photos we begin our descent. After we descend Ben Nevis we jump straight into the awaiting vehicles and head South to the Lake District to take on our second peak – Scafell Pike (978m).
We stop for dinner en route then continue on to Wasdale Head; an untouched and tranquil part of the Lake District also renowned for being the birthplace of British climbing. We continue our trek in what remains of the daylight to witness a beautiful sunset with astonishing views of the surrounding area as we reach Mickledore and head towards the summit. The ascent and descent of Scafell Pike should take approx. 4.5 hours. Glowing from our success we jump straight into the buses and head to our third and final peak – Mount Snowdon. Transfer time approx. 5 hours.
It’s an early start today as we begin our final summit trek from Pen –Y- Pass Youth Hostel at around 6am. We’ll take the PYG track to ascend Mt Snowdon – the highest mountain in England and Wales at 1,085m. Once we summit Mt Snowdon our efforts will be rewarded with glorious views stretching as far as the eye can see.
We will return to the vehicles following the same route we used to ascend and transfer to Llanberis to enjoy a celebratory breakfast! After breakfast we take the transfer back to Chester train station for drop offs after a long, but very rewarding two days!
