The Welsh Three Peaks: Description
The Welsh Three Peaks Challenge is a really enjoyable hiking challenge and is similar to the National Three Peaks but with the benefit of much shorter drives.
You will tackle the three main mountains in Wales; Snowdon/ Yr Wyddfa 1085m, Cadir Idris 893m and Pen y Fan 886m.
This can be completed in either 24 hours or 3 separate or consecutive days. The 24 hour option will see you tackle the mountains by their quickest and most direct routes. The 3 day option allows you to take the most scenic (slightly longer) routes to the summits.
We can organise the qualified Mountain Leaders for an affordable and flexible service.
Alternatively or we can take care of the whole event for you including accommodation and/ or transport. Simply get in touch and let us know your requirements and we will organise the rest.
