The Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the highest peaks Wales in ‘one go’. These peaks are Snowdon, Cadair Idris and Pen-Y-Fan. We complete them in that order on our open events. Exclusive group bookings do have the option to complete the challenge in reverse – if this is of interest, please contact us.
Meeting at Manchester late afternoon we travel to your accommodation in Snowdonia on Friday. You will be greeted by your leader for the challenge for a briefing and opportunity to ask any questions you might have. Starting with Snowdon on Saturday morning we then transfer to Cadair Idris in mid-Wales for an afternoon climb before completing a night time climb of our final peak, Pen-Y-Fan. Once we have completed the challenge we’ll head to Cardiff nearby we go our separate ways. The course is guided by qualified mountain leaders and our driver will be with you all the way.
