Route overview
Most itineraries use Killarney, Louisburgh, and Newcastle as the key access bases for Carrauntoohil, Mweelrea, and Slieve Donard, with summit days linked by transfers rather than one continuous trail. Arrivals from the UK usually begin with flights to kerry, dublin, belfast + road transfers before the route moves on between the mountain bases.
Why travellers choose this trip
Ireland National Three Peaks is a hiking itinerary running over 3 days with a high point around 1,039 metres and a challenging grading.
Three named summits, multiple mountain bases, and a route that lets you experience very different terrain and mountain atmosphere within one trip.
