Altitude Tips

Water is your best friend! You need twice as much water here than at lower altitudes. Aspen tap water is delicious and absolutely fine to drink! 

Use sunscreen, lip balm, and sunglasses. With less water vapor at this altitude, the sky really is bluer in Colorado. And there is 25% less protection from the sun so those harmful ultraviolet rays can really leave their mark. 

Monitor your alcohol intake. Golf balls go 10% further up here and so does alcohol.

Feeling nauseous, dizzy or tired? Have a headache or having trouble sleeping? These can be symptoms of altitude sickness. If you think you have altitude sickness, try drinking water, taking ibuprofen, eating food (especially complex carbs and potassium-heavy foods) and resting.

If sickness continues and you believe you might need an IV Infusion Therapy dose, or access to a Portable Oxygen machine for high altitude, call and schedule an appointment at either:

Both locations are conveniently located in downtown Aspen.
