Three Peaks Challenges

The Three Peaks Challenge is the most popular mountaineering event in the UK attracting thousands of entrants in increasing numbers every year.

3 Peaks Challenges provide our clients with a range of team building and charity fundraising events based around the National 24 Hour 3 Peaks Challenge.

However, there is much media coverage about the environmental impact of this event and the effect on local communities due to the high volume of traffic on the mountains.

As a result, we operate a small group policy specifically designed to minimise the environmental impact of this increasingly popular event.

Click here to see Jan 09 issue of TGO magazine where we feature in ‘The Big Debate’.

We are geared towards the smaller to intermediate group size and our average group is typically around 8-24 participants. However, we can also accommodate larger numbers with split teams and alternative routing solutions to minimise the environmental impact.

3 Peaks Challenges offer a highly personal service providing quality all-inclusive packages for this challenging event or transport only options for self-organising groups.

Matterhorn Circuit - 10 day trip including 8 days trekking around the Matterhorn which will be run as a small group excursion led by IML Craig Palmer. Dates are still to be finalised but should be around 10th - 12th July 09. For further information Click here.
