3 Peaks Challenge

Take on the 3 Peaks Challenge

Take on the ultimate UK trekking challenge while raising vital funds for The Salvation Army. Join the Three Peaks Challenge and climb the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon).

Your adventure begins in Fort William with an ascent of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak. From there, you’ll travel south to the Lake District to tackle Scafell Pike by night, before completing the challenge in Snowdonia National Park with a final climb of the mighty Snowdon.

With a target trekking time of 15 hours (and a maximum of 18 hours), you’ll cover around 22 miles and climb approximately 9,500 feet across all three peaks. It’s a demanding but incredibly rewarding challenge, widely regarded as one of the UK’s most iconic trekking experiences.

With expert support, guidance and encouragement every step of the way, you’ll push your limits and achieve something extraordinary - all while helping The Salvation Army continue its vital work supporting people and communities across the UK.
