High Altitude Tips

For those joining us from areas closer to sea level, the high altitude and thinner air of the mountains can take some getting used to. And if you're not careful, it can result in High Altitude Sickness.

​

High altitude sickness is caused by reduced air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes. Symptoms include:​

  • Headache

  • Nausea

  • Lack of appetite

  • Dizziness

  • Shortness of breath

  • Unusual tiredness

  • Trouble sleeping

​

Symptoms typically go away in a day or two, with rest and plenty of fluids. However, if you develop a worsening cough or feel like you have fluid in your lungs - see a doctor immediately.

​

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS

  • Reduce alcohol, caffeine and salty foods​

  • Stay HYDRATED! Drink 3 to 4 times more water than usual​

  • Get plenty of rest before and during your stay​

  • Eat foods higher in carbohydrates​

  • Take it easy upon arrival, to get used to the high altitude​

  • If you have access to a humidifier, use it. This helps add moisture into the air, which your body is used to at lower elevations​

  • Your heart is working harder at altitude - so quit while you're ahead if you're tired​

  • Wear sunscreen and sunglasses with ultraviolet protection, even on cloudy or rainy days
