National Three Peak Challenges 

Normally starting near Fort William, Highland, and finishing in Llanberis, Snowdonia - this makes an ideal team challenge that may be completed over a weekend. However, if you have the time, it's well worth staying in Wales after your challenge to enjoy a celebratory drink or two before having to face the long drive home. Teams trying to complete the challenge without stopping overnight before or after the challenge often find they are exhausted simply from the huge amount of travel involved - most popular format involves an overnight stay in Fort William accommodation , starting your challenge next day.

Although many groups organise and plan their own Three Peaks Challenge, a large amount of groups wish to take part in an Organised and Supported challenge event alongside a number of other similar teams. Many charity fundraising events require a large pledge, sometimes as much as £6000, from your group.

Those wishing to take part in an Open Three Peaks Challenge with just a simple entry fee, and no fundraising committment may consider the
