Reece Henderson, Daniel Heywood and James Raynor are walking from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn.
Mr Henderson, from Codnor, said the trio were "excited" to be heading to France to start the bid.
"To be honest I can't control my excitement, I'm absolutely buzzing," the 25-year-old told BBC Radio Derby. Mr Heywood, 26 and from Oakwood, said they would be carrying food and clothes for the hike in large backpacks. Despite the weight and muscle training they have undergone, he said he does not know what to expect, with changeable weather between peaks and valleys among the challenges they face."Our longest day, our elevation is almost triple Ben Nevis, which just sounds like a long day, so I don't think we'll really know until we're there.
