High Altitude Training Experience

Train higher. Perform better.

At 1,850 meters above sea level, Hotel de Gletscher offers an ideal environment for high altitude training, combining natural alpine conditions with comfort, recovery, and personalized hospitality.

Our location in the Monte Rosa area allows athletes and active travelers to benefit from altitude adaptation without extreme stress, making it suitable for both professionals and advanced amateurs.

Why Train at High Altitude?

Training in a reduced-oxygen environment stimulates physiological adaptations that enhance performance:

1. Improved oxygen transport capacity
2. Increased red blood cell production
3. Enhanced aerobic efficiency
4. Greater endurance and fatigue resistance
5. Stronger mental resilience

Altitude training is widely used in endurance sports, winter sports, and outdoor disciplines to prepare for competitions or seasonal goals.

The Advantage of 1,850 m Altitude

Hotel de Gletscher is located at an altitude that is:

1. High enough to activate hypoxic adaptation
2. Low enough to avoid excessive fatigue or health risks
3. Ideal for stays of 7 to 21 nights

This makes our destination perfect for pre-season preparation, training camps, and performance-focused holidays.

Ideal For

1. Alpine and cross-country skiers
2. Trail runners and mountain runners
3. Cyclists and endurance athletes
4. Mountaineers and hikers

5. Sports clubs and training groups
