Scafell Pike Routes

Our guided walking routes to the summit of Scafell Pike can begin in the valleys of Wasdale, Borrowdale, Langdale or Eskdale.

Each valley and route has its own particular charm.

Langdale & Borrowdale are the more accessible options for most visitors.

Wasdale is a stunningly beautiful valley, yes even more so than the others if that’s possible. It feels far removed from the modern world and all the better for it.

Eskdale is the esoteric choice for getting away from it all. Walking into The Great Moss being a special privilege and the scenery has a distinct 'wow' factor.

Our guided walks up Scafell Pike can be varied to add in other nearby peaks if you would like a more challenging day i.e. Scafell, Great End, Broad Crag, Ill Crag. Or even Bowfell and Esk Pike. We can tailor the day to suit.

Should none of these routes be quite what you’re looking for, please do get in touch to discuss your requirements. It’s possible to add more mountains into the day, include some rock scrambling, or it may be a rock climbing route you have in mind. Whatever it is, we’ll do our best to make it happen.
