Ireland National Three Peaks Route

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.
