Irish Mountain Challenges

The Irish Mountain Challenges are a unique set of 24 standalone Irish hillwalking challenges created by The Ireland Walking Guide. These personal outdoor adventure challenges can be undertaken at any time by experienced, well-equipped hillwalkers and mountaineers. The objective of each challenge is to visit every summit in a specific mountain range in Ireland which is higher than 2,000 feet. For hillwalkers and mountaineers wanting to introduce a competitive element to their sport, each Mountain Challenge is an optional part of the annual All-Ireland Mountain Race which starts on the Spring Equinox and finishes on the Autumn Equinox.
