What happens at high altitude.

As you climb higher, the air gets thinner. Each lungful at altitude gives you less oxygen, so your body has to work harder to maintain normal functioning. To cope at altitude, it’s important to understand how you respond as an individual so that you are as prepared as possible. A successful pre-acclimatisation programme will also significantly reduce the likelihood of experiencing altitude sickness symptoms.

Learning to adapt

Even the fittest of the fit can struggle with altitude. Whether you are an ultra-marathon runner or an avid hiker, everyone's body reacts differently to altitude. Adapting to altitude takes time as your body adjusts – everyone will experience the effects of altitude differently.

This is why at Ultimate Adventure Travel we have partnered with The Altitude Centre to help our climbers understand what happens to them.

With bespoke training from The Altitude Centre, you can help fast-track acclimatisation and understand what you need to do to help with this process. The Altitude Centre has a variety of training and research programs available to help you plan for your next adventure, the goal of making sure you have the bets chance up summiting your time and enjoying it in the process.

Acclimatisation is important

Altitude sickness can happen above 2,500m to even the fitness and due to its genetic component there is no way to find out how you will cope, without either under going testing before your trip or going to mountaineering and seeing what happens.
