The highest mountain outside Asia: 6,961 m, cold and dry. Every week of preparation counts here. Start five to seven weeks ahead and build up slowly.
Ama Dablam (~6,706 m)
The normal route is not technical, but the altitude, cold and wind make Aconcagua one of the most underestimated mountains in the world. Sleeping at altitude up to 4,000 m for seven weeks, building up no more than 300 to 500 m per week, is the best preparation you can do at home. Have your iron status checked beforehand.
Based on the summit altitude and controlled Altitude Dream protocols.

“Jullie service was goed. Correct geleverd, afgehaald. Voldoende uitleg over de werking. Misschien een volgende keer het trainingsschema samen met het toestel leveren. Dat kwam nu een dag later. De...”
Uitstekend service! Stipt! Zeer gedegen en uitvoerige uitleg en piekfijn materiaal. Bovendien zeer grote flexibiliteit: aan mijn zijde waren er wat planning issues iz mijn trip, maar Altitude Dream heeft...
Ik gebruikte reeds tweemaal de hoogtetent (sleep high, train low) als voorbereiding voor een trekking/beklimming tot 6200 meter. Als voorbereiding voor het trekken en klimmen op grote hoogte een enorm...
Non-technical but very high and cold ascent via Plaza de Mulas.
Yes. Only the oxygen percentage is lowered (normobaric hypoxia), not the air pressure. You build up gradually based on your SpO₂ values with personal guidance. An altitude tent is not a medical device. If you have a medical condition (heart, lungs) or are pregnant, consult your doctor first.
Count on 4 to 6 weeks for noticeable adaptation. For expeditions above 6,000 m we recommend 5 to 8 weeks. We match your rental period to your departure or race date: you choose the end date, we count back.

Uhuru Peak sits at 5,895 m, where only about 10% oxygen remains. Most climbers who miss the summit fail because of altitude sickness, not fitness. Six weeks of sleeping at altitude at home changes that.
The trek to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) keeps you above 3,500 m for two weeks. Those already acclimatised at home enjoy the trek from Namche Bazaar instead of surviving it.
The roof of the Alps at 4,808 m, often climbed in two or three days. That is exactly why acclimatising at home is so valuable: there is no time for it on the mountain.
