APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS

Prepare for route, load and altitude.

Typical areas of use

  • Preparation for trekking, multi-day mountain routes and expeditions
  • Planned travel to higher altitudes
  • Previous altitude symptoms or uncertainty about physical capacity
  • Medical travel preparation with existing conditions or regular medicines

Your practical benefits

  • Medical assessment of travel-related risks and health requirements.
  • Guided mountain days to practise carrying a pack, pacing and recovery.
  • A personal plan for preparation, acclimatisation and warning signs along your route.

Our medical team determines whether the programme is appropriate for you based on your symptoms, diagnosis, existing findings and previous treatment. Together, we discuss your personal goal, expected benefit and possible risks.

Medical sources

Fitness and IHHT do not guarantee altitude tolerance. Gradual acclimatisation at the destination remains necessary.

Sources address the described assessments and individual procedures. They do not validate the complete IUNE package.

YOUR PROGRAMME

The programme.

Clinical indication determines which tests and interventions are appropriate for you.

Clinical baseline

Your route, medical history and questions to resolve before departure.

02

Targeted diagnostics

Laboratory and functional tests when relevant to your specific question.

03

Mountain days

Guided climbs in the Tramuntana focused on exertion, pace and carrying a pack.

04

Written travel plan

Advice on preparation, acclimatisation, warning signs and how to respond to symptoms.

EXAMPLE · TEN DAYS

Clinic and mountain in rhythm.

An illustrative schedule, adapted after clinical assessment and according to weather and route.

Day 01

Medical consultation, itinerary and baseline assessment.

Days 02–08

Three mountain days alternating with further clinic days.

Day 09

Fourth mountain day or individual adjustment.

Day 10

Review, medical consultation and written plan.

IHHT · SCHEMATIC SEQUENCE: Lower oxygen concentration / Higher oxygen concentration
AFTER INDIVIDUAL REVIEW

Additional interventions.

IHHT, sleep diagnostics or recovery-focused interventions may be considered where clinically relevant. None guarantees performance or tolerance at altitude.

Short hypoxic sessions do not replace on-mountain acclimatisation or reliably prevent altitude illness.

Accommodation, travel and medication are not included in the programme. Prices and binding terms are provided in writing before any booking.
