Cooperation and referral
Training advice for endurance athletes and for treks and climbs above 3,000 metres: training at simulated altitude as a performance stimulus and as pre-acclimatisation, with an altitude training schedule for the preparation.
Frequently asked questions
How long should I rent to see an effect?
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.
When do I stop sleeping at altitude before my race?
Athletes usually stop 7 to 10 days before their peak race so the body is fully recovered. Mountaineers keep sleeping at altitude until just before departure so the acclimatisation is as fresh as possible.
Personal advice
Unsure what fits your training goal?
Tell us what you are working towards. We advise you personally on build-up, sleeping altitude and system.
Other sports
Choose your sport. We translate your race date into a programme: when to start, how long to sleep at altitude and when to taper.
Running
More VO₂max, more red blood cells and a higher lactate threshold towards your marathon, half marathon or trail run. Sleep high, train low.
Triathlon
Ironman and triathlon preparation with altitude training: more endurance across three disciplines, without extra training hours.
Elite sport
Guided altitude programmes for elite athletes, teams and training centres, in consultation with coach and medical staff.
