Studies have proved what people living in the Alps have known for years: living at 1,500m above sea level provokes a number of adaption mechanisms in your body and has rejuvenating effects.

Der Höhenunterschied bewirkt folgendes:

Effects of altitude difference:

• significant reduction of high blood pressure
• optimization of glucose and lipid metabolism
• reduction of body weight of 2 or 3kg
• especially impressive: improvement of oxygen transport and increase of red blood cells
• stabilization of neuropsychological factors

Mountain air with anti-aging effects

Once you ascend to higher altitudes, you will feel that the oxygen content in the air gets lower, the air is getting “thinner”. Your body adjusts to this small lack of oxygen mainly in two steps:

The lack of oxygen represents some kind of unspecific stress to your body and therefore more energy is needed. In this first phase, your physical performance is slightly limited and you will feel more tired than usual.

Your organism recovers, breathing and cardiovascular system are adjusted to the new situation. Due to the low oxygen content in breathing air, the production of red blood cells increases. Old blood cells are released and replaced by new ones – a real anti-aging process! Oxygen can be released more easily to the tissue, blood flow and physical performance rise.

You will feel fresh, recovered and simply better! You will experience these effects nowhere else but in the mountains!

High altitude training – positive effects not only for athletes!

Physical activity can enhance the positive effects of a stay at higher altitudes. But that’s not all! Studies have shown that training at middle altitudes has positive effects on the glucose and lipid metabolism, which reduces the percentage of body fat – without any diet!

There are many benefits of a stay in the mountains, but the most important is that your immune system will be strengthened – take advantage of it!


Holidays in the mountains stand for pure regeneration of your body!
